Gabrielle A. Morreale / Recovered and Restored
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A. LPC.
At Recovered & Restored Eating Disorder Therapy Center, we provide eating disorder treatment through a compassionate, Christ-centered lens for those who desire it. Our online Christian counseling services are available in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Florida, Connecticut, Vermont, and South Carolina, allowing individuals to pursue healing while thoughtfully incorporating their faith. Therapists Gabby, Breanna, and Becc integrate clinically sound, evidence-based practices with biblical principles, creating a therapeutic space where spiritual formation and emotional restoration can unfold together.
Although we are grateful to offer Christian-based counseling, our doors are open to every individual, regardless of faith tradition or spiritual background. We deeply respect each client’s beliefs and meet them exactly where they are. Our focus is always on individualized, empathetic care that honors your story and your needs. Whether incorporating faith feels essential to your recovery or not, you will receive ethical, evidence-based treatment in a supportive and judgment-free environment dedicated to helping you experience lasting freedom from your eating disorder.
The Role of Faith in the Healing Process
For many, faith becomes an anchor during the turbulence of recovery. It can cultivate hope, endurance, and a renewed sense of identity beyond appearance or performance. At Recovered & Restored, we believe that rediscovering our identity in Christ can reshape distorted body image narratives and support deeper healing. Scripture such as Psalm 139:14 — reminding us that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” — speaks directly against the shame and false beliefs that so often accompany eating disorders.

Kristy Fujiura Counseling
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Psy.D.
You feel a confusing, disorienting gap between how you feel and how you believe you "should" feel as a Christian. Where's the peace and joy you've been promised as a believer? You do all the right things - go to church, pray, study the Bible, serve others as best you can. But you still feel depressed. Or anxious. Or angry. Or your relationships cause you so much pain. You say to yourself, "this isn't how I'm supposed to feel, is it?" and then the shame creeps in..."what's wrong with me?"
What if what you are experiencing is not a failure of your faith? What if instead it is an invitation to go deeper? What if you're not broken, but instead carrying more than any one person was made to hold? What if all those feelings are part of a full and human life that God is inviting you to bring to him?
My goal is not to teach you how to feel about God. Instead, I'll help you see that God's care for you runs even deeper than you ever imagined. I don't have all the answers, but I'll give space for the real you to come out of hiding so that God can do the real healing. Reach out to me today and schedule a free consultation to see if I'm the right person to walk alongside you in this journey.

Waterbury is a post-industrial Connecticut city historically known as the 'Brass City' for its dominant role in American brass and clock manufacturing industries, which have largely departed, leaving behind significant economic challenges and one of the higher poverty rates in a state that ranks among the nation's wealthiest. The city has a large Puerto Rican population, and Spanish-language therapy is an essential component of the mental health landscape alongside services for communities from across Latin America and more recently Africa. Saint Mary's Hospital and Waterbury Hospital provide behavioral health services, and community health centers serve the significant Medicaid and uninsured population. Common therapy concerns include poverty-related stress, immigration and diaspora identity, substance use (Waterbury has been significantly affected by opioids), depression, anxiety, and the compounding challenges of accessing mental health care in a struggling city still working to define itself beyond its industrial past.
