Restorative Counseling Services

Marissa Mundy, LPC, CPCS is the Clinical Director for Restorative Counseling Services, where she serves as the resident couples and family therapist. Clients appreciate her warm and empathetic nature paired with her direct and clear approach. Many couples come to work with Marissa when they are experiencing high levels of conflict, arguments become explosive, and they don’t know how to stop the hurt. Other couples seek help because they find it hard to speak openly with their partners and have fallen into a pattern of avoidance. Whether your marital distress is very loud or painfully quiet, counseling can help. Marissa uses an approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples increase their attachment bond, reduce conflict, and increase intimacy. Additionally, Marissa regularly works with couples to repair relational wounds that threaten to end the relationship, including affairs, betrayals, addictions, and trauma.  For family therapy, Marissa applies the same principles of EFT to help all family members thrive. She works with families with adult children who seek to create a healthier dynamic now that all members of the family system have “flown the nest." Sometimes the entire family will come to therapy, and sometimes Marissa works with a dyad, such as a mother and adult daughter or father and adult son. She also works with adult siblings at any stage of life to create closer bonds.

Brittny Lyle

Brittny Lyle

BCL Clinical Solutions LLC

Lawrenceville, GA

Brittny has a heart for helping individuals discover more of their true selves, assisting couples in learning how to get to “know” each other as God intended by design, and building cohesion in families. Brittny's approach to counseling is holistic, person-centered, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and structural (i.e., cycles, systems, and boundaries). She enjoys teaching clients about their symptoms, thought processes, emotional responses, and behavioral and social patterns. She also values learning from them about what they need most as indicated through the therapeutic relationship. The goal is to help clients discover new ways to express their needs, practice gratitude and self-care, and set healthy boundaries to cultivate and maintain wellness. When working with couples, for example, Brittny may utilize PREPARE/ENRICH, Gottman Method, and/or Woodfellow’s Love Cycles/Fear Cycles model. She joins with them as they learn how to highlight their strengths, communicate effectively, rebuild trust and intimacy, and share their deepest desires and dreams. And because she believes that mental health derives from one’s soul health, she integrates spirituality into the healing process, as guided by the client. Brittny navigates her life with a Christian compass, but she welcomes her clients’ beliefs and positions on spirituality and in no way tries to impose her beliefs on them. Brittny's style of therapy involves homework (i.e., journaling, reading, completing worksheets, practicing coping skills, and utilizing support) to keep clients engaged in the healing process, so be prepared to get to work! Homework teaches clients how to practice new skills and cope independently between sessions to become advocates for their own healing. With a combination of collaborating with Brittny, God’s wisdom and guidance, and your commitment to the process, nothing less than transformative possibilities await you. Are you ready to do this good work?
