Michaela Decker
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT
If you are here, it’s probably because something’s just not right - you're feeling anxious, depressed or having problems with relationships, school, or work. If you are feeling stuck or disconnected from your relationship with others or yourself, you are in the right place to begin healing.
I provide support, accountability, and specific tools to navigate difficult situations. I am passionate about helping teens and adults manage difficult emotions, process relationship stressors, and overcome trauma. I have current availability for in person or online therapy and would love to chat with you to see if working together feels like it could be a good fit.

Restored Counseling & Wellness Center, PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, NMD
Your brain, body, and relationships were designed to work for you — not against you. At Restored, we believe healing is about more than symptom management. It's about reclaiming your sense of self, rebuilding connection, and growing into the life and purpose you were meant for. Our therapists and naturopathic doctors share a deep commitment to treating the whole person — because sustainable restoration requires addressing mind, body, spirit, and relationships together.

Grace Judd
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LAMFT
If you’ve found your way here, odds are something in your world might feel tangled, heavy, or out of alignment. You may love each other deeply and still feel stuck in painful patterns you can’t seem to escape. Maybe conversations escalate quickly, one of you shuts down while the other pursues, resentment keeps building, or trust has been damaged by repeated hurt, betrayal, or emotional disconnection. Over time, couples often begin feeling more like roommates, opponents, or strangers than partners.
Whatever brought you here, you’re not alone and you’re in the right place to begin healing. In couples counseling, you’ll find a space where your nervous system can exhale—where we can slow down, untangle patterns, heal emotional injuries, and strengthen the threads that create secure, meaningful relationships.
I specialize in helping couples slow down these negative cycles, rebuild emotional safety, strengthen communication, and reconnect beneath the conflict. My relationship counseling approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems, and Gottman Method, helping partners move from blame and defensiveness toward understanding, responsiveness, and deeper connection.
Whether you’re navigating chronic conflict, intimacy issues, infidelity recovery, parenting stress, premarital concerns, or the impact of trauma on your relationship, couples therapy can become a space where both partners feel heard, understood, and supported.
I primarily work with couples and adults navigating relationship distress, attachment wounds, trauma, and emotional disconnection.
I currently have availability for in-person and online sessions and would love to connect. Together, we’ll work toward creating a relationship that feels safer, more connected, and more resilient.

Matthew Brace
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Wouldn’t it be helpful if the communication in your relationship created closeness rather than distance? You care deeply about your partner but are feeling stuck on how to change. We are often trying to figure out how to improve our relationships as we go, and certainly get frustrated when attempts fall short. This frustration can lead to wondering how your relationship got to a point where feeling disconnected is common. There are reasons for these issues, and we will uncover them and implement solutions throughout our sessions together.
