Hello! I'm Miranda, founder of Hope Restored Counseling, LLC. Are you looking for a therapist who has extensive training and experience in treating trauma and interpersonal relationship issues in a safe and nurturing environment? If so, I am here to help. For the past 12 years I have worked with children, adolescents/teens, young adults and older adults to integrate various types of trauma in a way that promotes healing and total wellness in a confidential, safe and unconditionally-accepting environment. Individual therapy sessions are aimed to understand survival and coping strategies without shame, to promote self-worth and capability to thrive in the present, and to experience trust and growth inside a reflective relationship that incorporates client's beliefs and faith/spirituality. Clients set the pace and depth of treatment with a focus on meeting their specific goals for treatment in the way that best meets their individual needs. After all, you are the expert of your life experiences! It is a privilege to walk with you on your healing journey and I can't wait to get started.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Clients can that building rapport and creating safety in the therapeutic alliance/relationship will be the focus of the first session. Therapist will also obtain a comprehensive history through clinical interview, including additional assessment of trauma history that may or may not include additional evidence-based assessment measures, to ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment focus.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to, trauma, sexual abuse/assault, childhood abuse and trauma, PTSD, Complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and issues relevant to the the Christian faith. I am open to working with clients of all faiths and beliefs however, I have additional experience in working with clients who identify as Christians.
