Specialties

At Hope Restored we're passionate and specialized in a couple different areas. These include trauma, faith and spirituality, immigration and transitions, depression and anxiety, grief and loss, and family and relationships. You can find out a bit more below!

Trauma

Domestic violence, childhood trauma, sexual assault, car or workplace accidents, relationship or attachment trauma, as well as neglect or abandonment are some examples of trauma you may have experienced.

Any of these types of trauma can create struggles with regulating your emotions, avoidance of people, places or things related to the trauma, sleep issues, hyper vigilance, and/or intrusive and distressing memories, nightmares or flashbacks.

At Hope Restored, we seek to help you conquer and overcome your past trauma by helping you understand the root causes and beliefs which perpetuate your symptoms. We want you to be free from your trauma memories and symptoms in order to get back to feeling yourself again.

Faith and Spirituality

Faith and spirituality are essential components for mental health, but are often ignored in our society. Faith and spirituality can unlock a sense of hope and awe in your life, and help you feel connected to other people or something higher than ourselves. It can also be a source of strength and comfort.

On the flip side it can be a source of hurt or discomfort for some, and you may find that you need healing from negative past experiences.

At Hope Restored, we have an in-depth understanding of various religions and beliefs clients hold in order to help you effectively. We aspire to understand your beliefs and values as well as to discuss the bigger questions in life with you if you so choose. Feel free to discuss faith and spirituality with your counsellor!

Immigration & Transitions

Immigration and life transitions are some of the most joyous, yet difficult times in our lives. We can be thankful and happy yet full of grief, anxiety, and trauma at the same time. It can also be difficult to navigate new cultures, beliefs, build relationships, and get used to new ways of functioning.

At Hope Restored, you can take comfort knowing that each of our counsellors has first-hand experience with immigration in their personal lives, as well as a passion and training to help those who have gone through the immigration process or other significant transitions in their lives. We look forward to being a part of your journey!

Depression and Anxiety

Depression and anxiety are commonly experienced to varying degrees by everyone and are often interconnected. Often when we feel uncertain, out of control, or there is a trauma, loss, or transition in our lives, we can feel anxiety and depression pop up. These can cause us to not feel ourselves, be unable to relax, lack enjoyment in things we used to enjoy, and can create distance with people we love.

Our counsellors have experience with clients dealing with depression and anxiety for a variety of reasons. We want to help you feel yourself again and alleviate your symptoms by holistically addressing the root causes leading to your anxiety and depression.

Grief and Loss

This world is broken and full of grief, sorrow, and loss. It can be difficult to navigate and understand. If not addressed, grief and loss can spiral into depression or anxiety.

Hope Restored is here to walk with you through your darkest valleys and your deepest hurts. Our counsellors are here for you and desire to help you heal effectively. We want you to feel more whole and be able to process your emotions in a healthy way.

Family and Relationships

Family can be a source of strength and support, but can also come with conflict and challenge. There can be tension with different beliefs and ways of interacting in our family system.

At Hope Restored, we desire to help you navigate the important relationships in your life to turn them into more joyous interactions instead of feeling tension. Lets work to restore your relationships and help you communicate effectively.
