Someone to talk to
Something happens when an individual has an objective voice with which to talk through concerns. Giving an individual a voice to life events, feelings, or thoughts is one of the healing parts of the therapeutic process. We look forward to listening to you.
Our Model
Restoration Therapy is an effective model which allows an individual or couple to identify their core feelings, connect where they most likely learned the false messages connected to these feelings, and then empower the individual or couple to regulate their own emotions with the truth about who they are to be. The emotional regulation process not only changes one’s emotions, but also the behaviors the emotion produces. This model is so universal; it can be used with any issue and demographic.
