Do you find yourself frequently overwhelmed by negative emotions or trapped in an ever-repeating cycle? You are not alone. Thoreau said, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." It does not have to stay this way. There is hope. Many times, the first step to changing your life is to say things out loud to someone you trust. I am committed to creating a safe place for you to be real with no fear of judgment. It would be my honor to come alongside you as we work through the things that have kept you stuck for too long. I hold a Master of Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University and a Master of Theological Studies from Urshan Graduate School of Theology. My experience in private practice has equipped me with knowledge and has also strengthened my hope in evidence-based counseling processes. My education also uniquely positions me to offer Biblical/Christian counseling if requested. Please reach out if you are struggling. I want to assure you that you MATTER, and your mental health is worth investing in!
My goal is to create a calm, safe space for you to share and process your story and explore solutions. I aim to make your experience with therapy a positive one by assuring you feel heard, encouraged and seen. I believe the client/therapist relationship is a powerful healing tool to success in your life. I am a Psychotherapist who earned my graduate degree from The University of Michigan School of Social Work. I enjoy working with children, teens and young adults. I use an attachment theory framework to help you process traumas and relationships. Additionally, my areas of clinical interest are adolescents, teens and young adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, attachment issues, life adjustments, grief and loss, trauma/PTSD, and women's issues. I believe everyone deserves a connection with their therapist because healing comes through trust and a secure relationship, in which I strive to build between us. I hope to hear from you soon.

Life is nuanced. It is filled with choices, priorities, curve balls, imperfection, and grace. It is a commemoration of beginnings and endings. I specialize in working with individuals going through significant transition. This could be career change, terminating a relationship, processing through grief or simply wanting to change a habit. I am here to support, empower, and advocate for you as you go through change and find secure footing in uncertain times. My approach to therapy is purposely eclectic and person-centered, and sometimes incorporates creative/artistic recovery into treatment. It is my experience that positive change is best achieved through a collaborative approach to treatment. It is my intention through our therapeutic relationship that you understand the inherent wisdom you possess and that you recognize your personal strengths which allows you to live an authentic and purposeful life. Most of my work has been in agencies and academia. I have worked with individuals in substance abuse recovery, individuals processing through traumas, individuals trying to manage overwhelming emotions and seeking coping skills, individuals who are wanting a healthier relationship with their body, and individuals who are going through transitions or career exploration.

Great to meet you! My name is Cynthia D. Perry, and I am the founder of Restoration Christian Counseling. I provide Christ-centered counseling for individuals who are seeking healing, restoration, and a deeper relationship with God. Over the years, I have worked with people facing trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My therapy approach is one that is holistic to address the Mind, body, and spirit. I believe true healing comes through God’s Word and His restorative power. My approach combines biblical principles with therapeutic practice. I take a person-centered approach, meaning our work together moves at your pace and is always grounded in compassion, respect, and the belief that God has a redemptive plan for your life. In our first session, my focus is on listening to your story and creating a safe, welcoming space where you feel understood and supported. My clients often repot that they leave the first session with hope, encouragement, newfound strength, and inspiration to continue, renew, or to begin their relationship with God. Together, we’ll begin building a trust-based relationship that allows you to grow spiritually and emotionally. My goal is that you not only feel heard, but I am committed to helping clients find purpose, strength. peace, and restoration. For me, this is a ministry and a reflection of God's heart.
Attending college can be an exciting time and also a challenging time. Adjusting to so many life transitions and managing the stress that comes with these transitions can become overwhelming. Counseling assists you with the adjustment process, helps with finding solutions, learning healthy coping skills and identifying and modifying faulty thinking patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety and depression. Counseling can also help you define life goals, career plans, resolve relationship issues. You don't have to manage these stressful situations alone. Together we can work through any issues holding you back from fully enjoying the college experience.

Life can be messy, it can catch us off guard. We can find ourselves treading water and the things that used to keep us afloat aren’t working quite so well. Old wounds can dull our spark. If we’re human, we’ve all been there. I work with children, teens, and adults who are experiencing anxiety and depression, grief due to a death or those anticipating a loss, a life threatening medical diagnosis, anaphylactic food allergies and accompanying stressors, trauma, and parents with perinatal mood disorders. I also support families navigating LGBTQIA issues. I have specialized training in play therapy, trauma interventions, bereavement, and perinatal mood disorders. I have a commitment to an open and affirming practice for all. My approach is to partner with clients to form a safe and supportive relationship to explore more flexible ways of being in relationship with yourself and the world. Finding a therapist who is a good fit is one of the strongest predictors of the effectiveness of your therapy experience. I offer complimentary phone consultations to assist in determining if we are a good match.
I consider it a privilege to help people process their experiences, empathize with them in their pain, work to improve their relationships and help them make positive changes. I am a generalist in training (worked with couples, adolescents and adults), but specialized in Emotion Focused Couples therapy, EMDR (evidenced based trauma therapy), Christian psychology and cross cultural workers (missionaries, pastors, and missionary kids/adults). I personally love more depth oriented, emotion-focused work, but I will help you decide what approach works best for you! Having grown up overseas, I am part of the Third Culture Kid tribe. For the past four years, I have worked with people in cross-cultural ministry. I am trained in Emotion-focused therapy which has been seen as the most effective approach for TCK's. I am also trained in EMDR for trauma and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy for relationships in distress. If you are looking to gain insight, sleep better, trust yourself more and have better success in ALL your relationships including the relationship with God and yourself, now is the time to start! Please email or call me to talk about what it looks like to start.
