What We Offer

What we offer our Clients:

Hope

Finding hope in the pain and suffering in life can be hard when you can’t see a way out. We are here to provide you with a harbor of hope. When you first begin counseling, it is really hard to hope that life and relationships can be better. So, your counselor will hope for you. As you see God bring about changes in your life through the process of counseling, your own hope will grow.

Christian Perspective

Restoration’s worldview and approach to counseling are informed by the Bible and what it has to say about God and humans, sin and grace, and suffering and healing. We seek to partner with the Holy Spirit and with you to bring about lasting change in your life. We are competent to work with you to integrate your faith beliefs into your counseling process.

Although we are unapologetically Christian in our approach to counseling, we welcome clients from all (or no) faith backgrounds. We work respectfully with you according to your wishes about how to incorporate or not incorporate faith beliefs into your counseling process.

Empathy and Safety

Everyone has a story that is unique to them. Restoration Counseling seeks to ensure that you have a safe and empathetic environment to explore your struggles and your own understanding of what is going on in your life. No matter the presenting issue or desired goal, we always start with seeking to understand you and your perspective on your struggles. We listen first to understand before we listen to “fix” or “change.”

Insight

“A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience” (-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.). You bring your life’s experience to counseling, we bring the bring the skills, care, and attention needed to deepen your insight into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and how to change them. You deserve a space where you can lay your burdens down and begin to understand your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. As your counselor, we can often spot connections, identify themes, and provide information that helps you better understand your current difficulties and how to change them.

Trauma Informed

Trauma-informed care is at the heart of who we are at Restoration. Trauma can impact every part of your story and your body, and at Restoration we understand those impacts. We will never accuse you of “being crazy,” and we will work with you to process the memories and learn the skills needed to heal and meet your goals.
