Gabrielle A. Morreale / Recovered and Restored
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A. LPC.
We are passionate about walking alongside teens and adults who feel consumed by an eating disorder, discouraged by body image struggles, or mentally drained from OCD and anxiety. Many of our clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. In addition to eating disorder treatment, we also offer specialized services for OCD, anxiety disorders and trauma, recognizing how often these experiences overlap. I also have focused experience in maternal mental health and supporting women through seasons of transition. You do not have to navigate this alone — sustainable healing is within reach.
As the founder of Recovered & Restored, my mission is to help adolescents and adults experience true freedom with food and develop a more peaceful, compassionate relationship with their bodies. Treating anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and other forms of disordered eating is deeply meaningful work to me. Our practice also provides evidence-based care for anxiety, OCD, and trauma, addressing the underlying roots that often fuel symptoms.
It has been an incredible privilege to support many individuals in reclaiming their lives from eating disorders, OCD, anxiety, and trauma. As my team and I are personally recovered, we carry both clinical training and lived hope into this work. Recovery is possible for you, too. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out by phone or email to learn more about how we can support you.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Some things are hard to say out loud. Maybe you've never quite found the words, or the right person to say them to. Maybe you've been carrying questions about your body, your desire, your relationship, or who you are, quietly and for a long time.
You don't have to do that here.
I'm Paula Kirsch, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, and I work with women navigating sexual health concerns, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and people in ENM and kink-engaged relationships. Not as a specialty I added on, but as the heart of my practice. I understand your world, your language, and the particular weight of the things you may have never said to anyone.
Whatever you bring into this space, I'm not going to flinch, rush you, or hand you a formula. We'll sit with it together and figure out where to go from there. That's the work, and I genuinely love doing it. Book your Free Consultation on my website.

Colette Pauta
Counselor/Therapist
If you're looking for someone who will truly listen and help you feel heard and seen, my goal is to offer a space where you don't have to filter or perform. I take a warm, relational, and collaborative approach to therapy, meeting you where you're at with curiosity and care. I believe that humor has a place in healing, and when used thoughtfully, it can make difficult conversations feel less intimidating and more human. My work is trauma-informed and grounded in understanding how your experiences, relationships, and environment shape the challenging you're facing. Together, we'll explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools that feel relevant to your everyday life. Therapy with me is not about having all the answers, it's about creating space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust. Whether you're thinking about therapy for the first time, or have been in the counseling space before, I welcome the opportunity to get to know who you are at your core.
