Heal & Restore PLLC is a professional therapy practice founded by Annette Thomas, LCSW. We present as a practice — we, our therapists, our care — because the work is larger than one brochure line.
We help women, adults, teens and young adults, and families when family support belongs in treatment. Our center of gravity is individual therapy: trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, women’s mental health, ADHD-related strain, and life transitions.
Therapy is designed to help renew your life — structured, goal-oriented, and grounded in clinical precision. We provide secure virtual sessions in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, and South Carolina. Clients must be physically located in the licensed state during session.
Mission
To assist people in achieving a healthier and higher quality of life by providing quality professional mental health therapy to those in need. We want to promote independence and well-being for each of our clients.
Vision
We envision empowering others by advocating that mental health care is a right and not a privilege. We believe all people deserve a place to come as they are, with the full weight of their struggles, conflicts, and grief.
