Hello!

My name is Kierra Baretich, and I am the owner and founder of Restorative Hope. The mission of Restorative Hope is to provide a hope that restores, which is exactly what I seek to provide my clients in the therapy room. My goal is for clients to encounter a warm relationship with someone who truly holds hope on their behalf. My personal hope is richly connected to my faith in Christ, which means I believe God is always at the core of healing work in the therapy room. However, I will only involve faith language to the degree clients are comfortable. Outside of the office, I spend lots of time with my sweet husband and our baby boy (just born late 2023!). We all love hikes, the Oregon coast, and a good cup of tea with friends. I also have a deep love for fitness (especially yoga), cooking, and indoor plants. Flip through the above tabs to learn more about me and the work I do!

I approach clients most often through the lens of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is an approach that believes that your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are intimately connected and influence one another. Change over one's emotional distress, for example, is sought by understanding the thoughts and behaviors that contribute to that distress, and seeking to change those first. Although this is my primary focus, I also often use existential therapy (which pulls in the perspective of one's beliefs or faith practices), psychodynamic therapy (which studies and incorporates one's history), Somatic work (special attention to the impact of trauma on the body), and more.

I've been in the field of mental health since 2019, but really launched into building a practice when my husband and I moved to Michigan in 2021. There, I partnered as an independent contractor with a local company for two and a half years, building a thriving practice. During this time, I received once a month trainings from them and other professionals in the field. These trainings included Treatment of ADHD, Treatment of Eating Disorders, Enneagram Incorporation in the Therapy Room, Generational Trauma, Codependency, Internal Family Systems, Effective Billing Practices, and more. In addition, I attended a two day intensive online training on Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, which hosted experts including Dr. Ramani, Wendy Behary, Arielle Schwartz, and more. Via the equipping I received from these trainings and my experience, I was able to launch Restorative Hope shortly after the birth of my son.
