"High-quality, specialized trauma care should never be a luxury reserved only for the wealthy. The Scholarship Fund is our safety net, standing between a family in crisis and absolute relational collapse."

The Narrative

Consider the reality of a family in the wake of a devastating disclosure.

A spouse discovers a hidden sexual addiction or an act of severe infidelity. In an instant, their world is shattered. The trauma of betrayal is neurological; it triggers acute PTSD, rendering the betrayed spouse unable to sleep, eat, or feel safe in their own home. The addicted spouse is caught in a cycle of profound shame, isolation, and self-destruction.

In this moment of acute crisis, high-quality, highly specialized care is not optional—it is a matter of survival.

But traditional, private-pay Certified Sex Addiction Therapists (CSATs) frequently charge $250 or more for a single, cash-only clinical hour. For a family needing months of specialized therapy, couples counseling, and trauma support to rebuild their lives, the cost can easily exceed thousands of dollars.

For a working-class family, a single parent, or an underinsured household in Glendale, this price point is a financial death sentence. It forces families to make an impossible, agonizing choice: face financial ruin, or watch their marriage and family collapse behind closed doors.

At Restored Life Counseling, we refuse to accept that choice. Our first core pillar is Affordable Care. While we are actively doing the heavy administrative lifting to panel our clinicians with major insurance networks, the reality of high deductibles, high copays, or lack of coverage still leaves many vulnerable families exposed.

What the Scholarship Fund Accomplishes

The Scholarship Fund is our direct, compassionate safety net. It exists solely to subsidize the cost of specialized clinical counseling for those who are in acute crisis but have absolutely no financial means to pay.

Every single dollar designated to the Scholarship Fund goes directly toward clinical care. It is held in a restricted account and is systematically distributed to:

Subsidize the sliding-scale fees for low-income individuals and families.
Cover the crushing insurance deductibles and high copays for clients in immediate crisis.
Provide immediate, fully sponsored crisis-intervention counseling sessions for single mothers, pastors, and local leaders navigating acute relational trauma.

This is not a general operational fund. This is direct, localized relief. When you give to the Scholarship Fund, you are directly paying for a client to sit in a safe, clinically expert, and spiritually supportive counseling chair.

The Power of General Giving (The 20% Allocation)

For every general, unrestricted contribution we receive, 20% of the funds are directly swept into our restricted Scholarship Fund. Our board designed this split to ensure that our general capacity-building efforts always go hand-in-hand with direct, local benevolence. This means that a portion of every single dollar given to Restored Life Counseling is instantly converted into immediate clinical relief for a local Glendale neighbor navigating the darkest crisis of their life.

The Call to Action

No one should have to walk through the hell of addiction and betrayal trauma alone simply because they cannot afford the cost of a clinical hour. Your generosity to the Scholarship Fund stands in the gap, turning away the shadow of financial despair and replacing it with a concrete path toward a restored life.

The Goal: Ensure that no local family is turned away from life-saving, specialized clinical care due to an inability to pay.

The Impact: 100% of your gift directly sponsors clinical sessions, giving a hurting husband, a shattered wife, or a struggling young person the professional lifeline they desperately need to heal.
