Hope Restored Family Counseling
Providing therapy focused on brain health, mindfulness, and attachment patterns to address depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and trauma—helping you reconnect, rebuild, and heal.
You're not stuck, you’re ready to upgrade the way your brain is wired.
Your brain has adapted to help you survive, but these patterns may no longer serve you. Now is the time to challenge outdated mindsets and courageously embrace the changes you need.
I don’t just treat symptoms—I help you understand the reasons behind your symptoms. My work is grounded in neuroscience, mindfulness, and attachment theory, which has been shaped by decades of guiding individuals and couples through disconnection, hurt, and significant life changes. I offer steady, compassionate support as we explore the origins of these patterns and begin to build something new, something healthier—something that aligns with the life you truly want to live.
Take a deep breath. You’re in the right place.
Hi, I’m Alicia Peterson—a licensed therapist with decades of experience walking with individuals, couples, and families through disconnection, hurt, and significant life transitions. My work is rooted in neuroscience, mindfulness, and attachment theory. I care deeply about helping people understand the underlying reasons behind the hurts. I don’t want you to just cope but to truly heal and grow.
Let's kick things off with your foundation
We have two simple approaches we can take: we can start from the bottom to uncover underlying reasons, or we can approach it from the top, present-day struggles. Regardless of the path you choose, I will provide you with meaningful tools to facilitate change within yourself and your relationships with those around you.
Resilient Backing for Life's Toughest Challenges
I have sat with people during their darkest moments and experienced depths of despair that even Stephen King could not have imagined. Regardless of the intensity of emotions or the duration of the struggle, I don’t shy away. I provide a calm and grounded environment where you can be your natural self. Together, let’s navigate through the darkness with clarity, compassion, and care.
Comprehensive Healing that Respects the Whole Person
I believe that healing occurs most effectively when we honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit/soul. If faith is an essential part of your life, I am open to incorporating it into our work together. This may involve sharing scripture or wisdom from the Bible or simply providing a space for your spiritual questions and experiences.
If your beliefs differ from mine, I welcome the opportunity to learn from you and explore how we can integrate them into your healing process. Whether you are deeply rooted in your faith, questioning it, or do not connect with faith at all, I will meet you where you are. I will hold space for what matters most to you and walk alongside you with steadiness and grace.
