Renew Restoration
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
Renew Restoration | Trauma-Informed Counseling for High-Functioning Adults
You don't have to be in crisis to feel stuck. Many of the people I work with are functioning well on the outside, meeting deadlines, showing up for others, keeping it all together, while quietly carrying exhaustion, disconnection, or a sense that something is off beneath the surface.
My work starts from a simple belief: you are not broken. You are shaped.
The patterns you carry, how you cope, relate, perform, and protect yourself, developed for good reasons. They helped you survive. But survival strategies don't always serve us forever, and what once made sense can quietly become a source of distress, disconnection, or burnout.
Through a depth-oriented, trauma-informed approach, we work together to understand the patterns that shaped you, recognize how they show up in your life today, and begin moving toward something more intentional, more you.
If you're ready to move beyond managing symptoms and toward real alignment, I'd love to connect.

David J Schlosz
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC-S
I offer online therapy for men and women seeking deeper healing, greater self-understanding, and a more authentic connection to themselves and others. My approach is relational, compassionate, and integrative, blending insight-oriented therapy with somatic awareness, and mindfulness to help clients move beyond survival patterns and into greater freedom, wholeness, and meaning. I work with individuals navigating shame, anxiety, relationship wounds, trauma, identity concerns, grief, life transitions, and the emotional exhaustion that can come from constantly carrying the weight of others’ expectations. Therapy with me is not about fixing you because I do not believe you are broken. It is about creating a safe and grounded space where healing, self-trust, authenticity, and transformation can emerge through genuine connection. My hope is to help clients awaken to their own resilience, reclaim their voice, and build a life that feels aligned, alive, and emotionally sustainable.
