Counselors with Restored adhere to the standards of practice and methodology of ACBC
Counseling is a relationship where the counselor moves toward troubled people offering hope, helping navigate the struggles faced in a fallen world. Biblical counselors demonstrate the love of Christ through the counseling care that they offer, with the Scriptures guiding the counsel and practical lifestyle skills for true heart transformation and lasting hope.

One of K.J.’s favorite versus is from 2 Peter 1:2-3, which says, “Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.
