A community of care, built on a foundation of faith. Restored Life Counseling is a nonprofit network of independent Christian mental-health professionals serving Glendale, North Phoenix, and Arizona — with telehealth for Washington residents. Our mission is simple: affordable, quality, and distinctively Christian mental healthcare.

Who we are

Restored Life Counseling is evolving. We currently have one location, with the infrastructure in place to support more. We are a nonprofit counseling practice built on a shared-services model: our clinicians keep their professional autonomy and clinical voice while sharing the same infrastructure, standards, and a theologically anchored covenant. In an era of corporate, algorithmic healthcare, we carry the “floor” of administrative support — billing, compliance, and technology — so our providers can reach for the “ceiling” of their calling. We believe that caring well for the healer is how you ensure the best care for the client.

Who we serve & how

We are distinctively Christian, and everything on this site flows from that: our anthropology (every client bears God’s image), our ethics (truth and grace together), our economics (care priced so the vulnerable can reach it), and our clinical standards (excellence as worship). Our faith is the fuel for our service, not a prerequisite for your care: because grace never coerces, we serve people from all walks of life, faith backgrounds, and identities with the same excellence, compassion, and dignity — and the depth of faith integration in your counseling always follows your lead.

Our mission

To provide affordable, quality, and distinctively Christian mental healthcare. We believe behavioral health is more than the management of symptoms; it is the stewardship of a soul. Our mandate extends beyond reducing anxiety or depression to the holistic restoration of the image of God inherent in every client.

Our strategic pillars

• Affordable (Access). By centralizing administrative costs as a nonprofit, we reduce overhead so our independent providers can accept major insurance and offer sustainable rates. We’re also paneling and credentialing with AHCCCS to further expand our reach, and we maintain capacity for the under-served through our internship program and sliding-scale options.
• Quality (Clinical Excellence). We operate under a “Zero Harm” framework. Our independent providers commit to rigorous standards, including Measurement-Based Care to objectively track client progress. We treat secular regulatory codes (APA, NASW, ACA) as our legal obligation and our internal standards of integrity as our spiritual service.
• Distinctively Christian (Theological Fidelity). We are not merely “Christians who counsel”; we practice an integrative approach where truth, grace, and scientific excellence converge. All providers engage in ongoing theological formation and adhere to the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) Code of Ethics.

Our beliefs and values

Our network is diverse, yet anchored by a shared Statement of Faith that serves as the constitution for our community.

• We are Christian. We affirm the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds. We believe in the Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — and the redemptive work of Christ.
• We are Protestant. We affirm that Scripture is our final authority for faith and practice. We do not acknowledge the magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church, yet we deeply respect the broader Body of Christ.
• We are Unfinished. Where our traditions are not fully Scriptural, we are eager to change as the Spirit convicts us through the Word. We hold our theology and practice with humility.
• We are Integrative. All truth is God’s truth. We eagerly use insights from modern psychology, neuroscience, and medicine to the extent that they do not contradict the plain teaching of Scripture.
• We are Curious. Christianity is diverse; we strive to respect and learn from our brothers and sisters in the faith, even where we reach different conclusions on secondary issues.
• We are Loving. All people are created in God’s image. Those outside the faith are due the same love, excellence, and respect as those inside it. We serve all clients regardless of belief system or lifestyle.
• We are Missional. Our work participates in God’s redemptive plan. We strive to make our communities healthier and more whole, bearing witness to the love of Christ through the quality of our care.
• Traditional toward marriage and gender. We affirm that Biblical marriage is between one biological man and one biological woman, and that the true gender of any individual is that revealed by their anatomy at birth and possession of either XX or XY chromosomes.

The road ahead (2026–2028)

We are executing a strategic pivot from a “Clinical Production” model to an “Infrastructure & Workforce” model — building a training-clinic model for the soul that trains the next generation of clinicians while expanding access to care. (We do not currently have any MDs or DOs on staff, though we would love for some to join us.)

• Year 1 — Infrastructure (2026). Decouple revenue from leadership and fill “empty chairs.” Secure ADHS Outpatient Treatment Center (OTC) licensure and launch integrated medical services (Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner); pursue capacity-building grants.
• Year 2 — Scaling (2027). Full medical integration and workforce expansion. Secure AHCCCS Differential Adjusted Payments to serve Medicaid populations; double our internship program; publish Volume 1 of Narrative Expository Psychology, our framework for Biblical clinical integration.
• Year 3 — The Network (2028). The “training clinic” model and Institute launch: national licensing of our curriculum and our first satellite location in North Glendale.

Our execution targets: expanding total capacity to 400+ sessions per week, establishing “Integrated Clinic” status to treat the whole person, and partnering with universities and technology funds to keep our use of AI and technology grounded in Christian ethics and robust theology.
