KELLY LASHAR, MACE, MACP, LPC - RESTORE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH REVIEWS
This place is pricey, but that's honestly true of any good therapy place. However, they have a wide range of therapists with different skills and if your insurance covers therapy, there's a good chance there's one there that takes it. My partner and I saw Kelli Hurst for relationship counseling and she was amazing. Our relationship wouldn't have made it without her help. She is intuitive, empathetic, and very skilled at not making either of us feel at fault for our issues, while still calling out individual problematic behavior, as well as being skilled at helping us see each other's view points. 10/10 recommend.
I've been going to Restore for two and a half years now, and the people here have been so so helpful to me. From the front desk to the providers, I've always felt genuinely cared for. I've recommended Restore to several people without hesitation and will continue to do so! I have seen a couple different therapists, Kelly Lashar and Shayla Hanna, for different types of therapy and have found them to be so helpful and caring. And they definitely know their stuff! Starting therapy and seeking help was scary at first, but the life change and healing I have worked towards and seen has been worth it. I am so thankful for Restore!
Restore has a amazing team of counselors that treat a wide range of issues and offer many different types of therapy. As someone who has had the pleasure to work with the team at the Norman location I can’t overstate how kind and caring the counselors at Restore truly are. If you are seeking therapy I highly recommend you go to Restore!!!
