New Clients

Welcome — We're Glad You're Here

Taking a step toward therapy is not easy, and we want to honor the courage it takes just to begin exploring this path. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unsure, exhausted, or even a little hopeful — all of those feelings are valid.

It’s common to approach therapy with a mix of fear and curiosity, weariness and desire for change. Whatever brought you here, we're grateful you've found your way to this space.

Beginning to think about therapy is already a meaningful step toward healing and growth — and that deserves to be acknowledged and celebrated. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to begin.

What is Counseling?

Get to Know Us

Counseling is a safe and supportive space where you can bring your story — the parts that feel heavy, confusing, painful, or just in need of deeper understanding. It’s a collaborative process where you and your therapist work together to explore your experiences, emotions, relationships, and patterns, with the goal of growth, healing, and greater wholeness.

What You Can Expect

At Restoration Counseling, we approach therapy through a lens of compassion, acceptance, and curiosity, grounded in both clinical expertise and spiritual wisdom.

Your first few sessions will focus on getting to know you — what brings you in, what matters to you, and what kind of support you’re looking for. Together, we’ll begin to set goals and build a relationship of trust.

You don’t have to show up with everything figured out. You are welcome just as you are. This is a space for honesty, reflection, and hope — a place where your healing journey can gently begin.

Therapy might be a good fit if...

You’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or sadness that doesn’t go away
You want support processing past trauma or painful experiences
You’re navigating life changes like loss, transitions, or identity shifts
You desire healthier relationships or communication patterns
You feel “stuck” and want help moving forward
You’re ready to explore your inner world with curiosity and honesty
You want to grow in self-compassion and emotional resilience
You’re looking for a safe space to be seen, heard, and supported
You’re willing to show up consistently and engage in the process of healing
You value mental health and are open to learning new tools for wellness

Therapy might not be a good fit if...

You’re seeking a quick fix without interest in deeper reflection or change
You’re not ready or willing to be honest with yourself or the therapist
You’re in crisis and need immediate intervention (call 911 or a local crisis line)
You’re being pressured to attend therapy, but don’t see its relevance to your needs
You expect the therapist to “solve” your problems without active participation
You’re looking for legal advice, psychiatric medication management, or medical treatment
You’re not in a place to commit to regular sessions at this time
You struggle to trust the process and aren't open to giving it time and space
You are currently using substances in a way that significantly interferes with your ability to participate in therapy (we can offer referrals to specialized addiction services)

What We Offer Our Clients

When you seek support, you deserve a counseling experience that offers more than just solutions; you deserve a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. At Restoration Counseling, we center our practice around core offerings designed to nurture your entire being. We believe in providing a holistic approach that integrates professional expertise with compassionate, faith-informed care.

From the moment you connect with us, you'll experience a foundation built on genuine hope, a Christ-centered perspective, unwavering empathy and safety, profound insight, and deeply rooted trauma-informed care. These pillars guide our work, creating a sanctuary where you can explore your challenges, discover new strengths, and begin a journey toward lasting healing and wholeness.

Hope

Finding hope in the midst of pain and suffering can feel impossible when you can’t see a way forward. At Restoration, we’re here to offer a harbor of hope. In the early stages of counseling, it can be difficult to believe that life or relationships could change, but your counselor will carry that hope for you until you’re able to carry it for yourself. As you begin to experience God’s healing and transformation, your own hope will grow and take root.

Christian Perspective

Our approach to counseling is deeply informed by a biblical worldview—what Scripture says about God, people, sin, grace, suffering, and healing. We seek to partner with the Holy Spirit and with you to bring about meaningful and lasting change in your life. Our team is trained to integrate your faith into the counseling process with skill and respect. While we are unapologetically Christian in our perspective, we welcome clients from all faith backgrounds—or none at all. We honor your beliefs and preferences and will always work with you in a way that respects your wishes around faith integration.

Empathy & Safety

Every person has a story worth being heard. At Restoration, we strive to create a safe and compassionate space where you can explore your struggles without fear of judgment. Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, relational issues, or spiritual questions, we begin by seeking to understand you—your story, your perspective, your experience. We listen first to understand, not to fix. From that foundation of trust, true healing can begin.

Insight

As Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “A moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience.” You bring the rich, complex experience of your life to counseling—we bring the care, training, and presence to help you gain deeper insight into your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relational patterns. This work of reflection and discovery creates space for change, healing, and growth. You deserve a place where you can lay down your burdens and begin to understand the story you’re living—and how it might be rewritten with greater freedom and clarity.

Trauma-Informed Care

At Restoration, trauma-informed care is central to everything we do. We understand that trauma can affect every part of your story—your body, mind, relationships, and sense of identity. We are committed to providing a therapeutic environment where you are never blamed or dismissed, and where your symptoms are treated with compassion and curiosity, not judgment. We walk with you at a pace that honors your nervous system and your story, helping you process what’s been hard and develop the tools you need to heal and move forward.

Inclusive Care

At Restoration Counseling, we believe that effective healing begins with a safe and welcoming space for everyone. While our practice is rooted in a Christian perspective, our commitment is to meet you exactly where you are in your journey, regardless of your faith background or walk of life. We are dedicated to providing compassionate care that honors your unique story, beliefs, and experiences. You do not need to share our Christian faith to receive counseling here. We respect your individual path and will work with you to ensure your counseling experience is supportive, inclusive, and tailored to your needs. Our primary goal is to help you find healing, growth, and restoration in a way that resonates authentically with you.
