Free Counseling Resources & Self-Assessments

Free mental-health self-assessments, practical guides, and a recommended reading list from Restored Life Counseling — tools to help you take a first step toward healing.

Get Started

Freely we have received; freely we give (Matthew 10:8). These free tools help you understand what you’re facing and take a first step — whether or not you ever become a client. Start with our self-assessment, work through a practical guide, or browse our reading list.

Free self-assessment

Our Personal Challenges Survey is a short, private questionnaire across mood, relationships, and life stressors. It’s a starting point for reflection, not a diagnosis — and at the end you’ll see your results on a simple set of meters.

Guides & practical tools

In-depth clinical guides and practical self-help tools from our team — updated as we publish.

New guides and tools are on the way — check back soon.

Reading list

Books and resources we recommend most often, organized by topic.

Resources can take you a long way, but they’re no substitute for walking with someone who knows the terrain. When you’re ready, a free 15-minute consult is the easiest first step.
