Our Therapists Can Help
Our therapists have diverse backgrounds, training, and skill sets so you can find the right fit for your unique needs. We specialize in working with adults and adolescents, and we bring both professional expertise and genuine compassion to every session.
With offices in the greater Orlando area as well as Lakeland, Jacksonville, and South Florida, we offer in-person support that's covered by insurance. We also provide online counseling services to people located throughout the entire state of Florida, as well as some other states including Texas, South Carolina, New Jersey, and Michigan.
The Restored Purpose Approach to Therapy
Many of our clinicians are trained in:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – CBT helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. Think of it like updating the software in your brain – we help you recognize distorted thinking and replace it with more balanced, realistic thoughts.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) – DBT teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It's especially helpful for people who experience emotional overwhelm or engage in self-destructive behaviors.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) – EMDR is a specialized trauma therapy that helps you process difficult memories and experiences. It's highly effective for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms, helping your brain reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer control your present.
For those in eating disorder recovery, we offer comprehensive support:
Individual Therapy – Work one-on-one with a therapist who understands the complexities of eating disorders and can help you address the underlying emotional and psychological factors.
Nutrition Counseling – Our registered dietitians provide 1:1 nutrition counseling sessions to help you develop a healthier relationship with food, challenge diet culture, and create sustainable eating patterns.
Group Therapy – While we believe in the power of individual therapy, we also recognize how healing it can be to process your thoughts and feelings in a group of people with similar life experiences. While our groups are generally geared toward eating disorder recovery, anyone who is interested in reevaluating their relationship with food can benefit.
Meal Support Services – Mealtimes can be difficult when you're recovering from disordered eating. This is separate from our therapy offerings but can be highly supportive to people who are looking to shift their food behaviors and want help doing so in real time.

What to Expect in Therapy
Your First Session – We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and your background. There's no pressure – it's simply a conversation to help us understand how we can best support you.
Creating Your Treatment Plan – Together, we'll develop a personalized plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. You're an active participant in your healing journey.
Building Skills and Insight – In sessions, you'll gain practical tools for managing symptoms, processing difficult emotions, and changing unhelpful patterns. You'll also develop deeper insight into yourself and your experiences.
Ongoing Support – Therapy is a process, not a quick fix. We'll walk alongside you, adjusting your treatment plan as needed and celebrating your progress along the way.
