Founded by Peter Agnew, MA in 1998, the organization delivers faith-based individual and couples counseling, integrating Biblical principles with validated psychological approaches including Gottman Level 1 techniques, Taylor Johnson Temperament Analysis, PREPARE-ENRICH, and Love Languages assessments. The practice serves individuals, couples, families, and blended families across twelve service categories spanning premarital counseling, marriage counseling, divorce recovery, pre-remarriage counseling, blended family counseling, pastoral counseling, individual counseling, Christian counseling, life coaching, communication and conflict resolution, pornography addiction support, and customized on-site seminars.

The business model is straightforward services revenue: counseling sessions are priced at $100 per 55-minute session, paid at the time of service via cash, check, Zelle, or Venmo, with no insurance accepted and no subscription or recurring billing. Supplementary revenue streams include on-site seminars and workshops delivered to organizations, retreats, and events (priced on request), and passive book sales of 'The Essential Pre-Marriage Toolbox' through Amazon.

The documented outcome metrics of <25% divorce rate among 700+ couples served through the premarital program and 90%+ seminar satisfaction form the practice's primary reputational asset. Headcount is one (Peter Agnew, MA), with no other employees, investors, subsidiaries, or institutional ownership disclosed.

Direct peers

• Regain: Online couples counseling platform connecting couples with licensed therapists via messaging, audio, and video. Comparable to Restored Hope because it directly serves the same couples counseling use case, though delivered online-only, secularly, and at a subscription price point rather than in-person and faith-integrated.
• Hope for the Heart: Christian counseling organization providing biblical-based counseling resources, training curricula, and direct counselor referrals. Comparable to Restored Hope because it serves the same faith-based counseling-seeking audience with Biblical-psychological integration, though it operates more as a resource and training ministry than a single-counselor practice.

Broad incumbents

• Talkspace: Online therapy platform offering individual and couples therapy through messaging, audio, and video sessions with licensed therapists. Comparable to Restored Hope because it competes for the same individual and couples counseling demand with significant technology infrastructure and insurance partnerships that Restored Hope does not have.
• BetterHelp: Largest online counseling platform offering individual, couples, and teen therapy with thousands of licensed therapists. Comparable to Restored Hope because it competes for the same individual and couples mental health counseling demand, but at vastly greater scale, fully online, and without faith-based specialization.
• Focus on the Family: Large national Christian family organization providing marriage, parenting, and relationship content, counseling referrals, and published resources. Comparable to Restored Hope because it overlaps on faith-based marriage and family counseling, but operates at far greater scale with a much broader portfolio of programs and content.
• FamilyLife: Christian marriage and family ministry producing marriage conferences, small-group curriculum, and family ministry programs (including the Art of Marriage series). Comparable to Restored Hope because it targets the same faith-based marriage and premarital market, but reaches audiences at much greater scale through conferences and partner churches rather than one-on-one counseling.

Others

• American Association of Christian Counselors: Professional association for Christian counselors providing credentials, training, and continuing education. Comparable to Restored Hope as an ecosystem and professional support organization serving the same faith-based counseling practitioner community, rather than a direct service competitor.
• The Gottman Institute: Relationship counseling methodology and training company whose Gottman Method assessments and approach are explicitly used by Peter Agnew. Comparable to Restored Hope as an enabling methodology provider in the couples and marriage counseling space, rather than a direct counseling competitor.
• PREPARE-ENRICH: Premarital and marriage assessment tool used by Restored Hope in its premarital counseling program. Comparable as an enabling assessment and curriculum vendor in the same premarital counseling market, not a direct competitor for client services.
• SYMBIS: Premarital assessment tool ('Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts') used by faith-based premarital programs. Comparable to Restored Hope as an enabling assessment provider in the premarital counseling market, supplying the curriculum layer beneath pastoral counseling delivery.
