Jessica Pottorff
CADAC (Certified Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselor)
About
Jessica is passionate about working through codependency issues, guilt and shame, and spiritual issues and allows God and Scripture to empower clients to see their potential and to find their identity in Christ. Jessica is authentic and builds rapport quickly with her clients by being personable, compassionate and Christ-centered. She has a passion to help people develop a deeper relationship with God as they pursue wholeness in all areas of their lives. Jessica is committed to being the hands and feet of Christ and an instrument of God’s grace helping people through their challenges. Through her own life experiences she found Christ’s redemptive power and chain breaking ability and because of her experience with her own Christian counselor, she seeks to provide exactly what she has found in her Savior; freedom from bondage.
At Restoration Counseling, I offer a custom approach for each one of my clients! I start with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing. I help you put a plan in place to help you move forward, and I celebrate your successes along the way. I offer an inclusive, safe space with in-person or virtual appointments to suit your schedule. Helping people live better lives is my passion. It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through a loss, or life transition or helping you change a pattern of behavior that is keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you feel better so you can live the life you’ve always dreamed of! Being vulnerable can be scary, but I know the biggest weapon against shame is empathy. If you’re seeking freedom from bondage & hope for your future, I would be happy to meet with you where ever you are in your journey.
I love working with teens 16+, individuals, and couples. I am passionate about working through addiction issues and the resulting codependency/boundaries, guilt, and shame. Have you been struggling with a narcissist in your life resulting in self-worth issues? Do you struggle with spiritual issues such as trauma, cult affiliation, or confusion? Have you been betrayed by your partner or has pornography invaded your relationship? I know how complicated these struggles are and I would be honored to walk with you through the pain and confusion and find true healing.
