Restoration Counseling Center

What Restoration Counseling Center does

Restoration Counseling Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit outpatient mental health counseling practice founded in 2008 and headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana. It delivers faith-based, trauma-informed psychotherapy to individuals, couples, teens, and families across the greater New Orleans metropolitan area through two physical offices — 4162 Canal Street in New Orleans and 235 Lamarque Street in Mandeville — supplemented by telehealth. Its clinical model combines a Christian biblical worldview with evidence-based therapeutic modalities including EMDR, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT/EFCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Therapy, Sandtray, Theraplay, TBRI, and Story-Informed Trauma Therapy (SITT), and includes psychiatric evaluation and medication management delivered by a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

The practice generates revenue primarily through fee-for-service outpatient therapy sessions priced at $75–$140 per standard session, premium accelerated therapy intensives priced at $600 (half-day), $1,000 (one-day), and $1,800 (two-day), and psychiatric services priced at $175 for initial intake and $85 for follow-ups. Insurance accepted includes Aetna, Cigna, and Verity, with out-of-network superbills available. Additional non-clinical revenue is sourced from tax-deductible donations and a monthly giving program under the Restoring Hope Fund, with the Freedom to Heal Scholarship launching in January 2026 to subsidize reduced-fee counseling.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and geographically concentrated in Louisiana; clients enter via an online interest form, phone, or client portal, and the practice runs a multi-channel awareness effort across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, an email newsletter, and the Restoration Academy blog. Restoration Counseling Center also operates an internal ecosystem of adjacent programs — Restoration Academy (counselor training and fieldwork), Selah Wellness (wellness services), Ministry Benefits, and the Emerging Clinicians Access Initiative — that extend the organization's footprint beyond clinical service delivery into workforce development, education, and donor engagement.

Emerging players

• Cerebral: Telehealth mental health platform combining therapy and medication management; overlaps with Restoration's combined counseling-plus-psychiatry offering but at a national, scaled, subscription model.
• Open Path Collective: Nonprofit-adjacent network offering reduced-fee therapy ($30–$80 per session) — comparable to Restoration's accessibility programs (Restoring Hope Fund, Freedom to Heal Scholarship) and its self-pay pricing.
• Brightside Health: Telehealth mental health provider focused on anxiety and depression with therapy plus medication; competes for the same outpatient, insurance-reimbursed demand in Louisiana.

Direct peers

• Christian Counseling Associates: Faith-based outpatient counseling network integrating biblical principles with evidence-based therapy across multiple locations, closely mirroring Restoration's niche positioning and service mix.
• New Seasons Counseling & Wellness: Faith-based outpatient counseling practice offering individual, couples, and family therapy with evidence-based modalities — comparable niche positioning, service mix, and faith-integrated differentiation.
• Samaritan Counseling Center: Faith-informed outpatient counseling center offering therapy, psychiatry, and sliding-scale services — similar nonprofit operating model, clinical scope, and faith-integrated approach as Restoration.

Broad incumbents

• Talkspace: Online therapy platform delivering individual and couples counseling via telehealth — directly competing for Restoration's telehealth-eligible, self-pay and insurance-reimbursed clients.
• BetterHelp: Largest consumer telehealth therapy platform with broad marketing reach; competes for the same self-pay Louisiana clients seeking remote individual and couples counseling.
• Thriveworks: Large multi-state outpatient mental health and counseling network offering in-person and telehealth therapy with broad insurance coverage — competing for the same outpatient therapy demand Restoration serves.
