Clients at Restoration Place are given Satisfaction Surveys so that we know the things we are doing well and the areas that may need improvement. Below are some answers to two important questions asked:

What progress/changes have you seen in yourself since receiving counseling at RPM?

The industry standard fee for counseling is $100-150 per session. In light of this information and your knowledge of Restoration Place Ministries, what role does affordability play in your decision to seek counseling here?

• A lot… with all the sessions I have needed, I would not be able to afford it otherwise.
• I’m able to not have to work as much while in school. That is a huge lifted burden off my shoulders.
• I would not be able to get the help I need and see a counselor as often as I would need to at the full rate. This is extremely advantageous and less stressful.
• Very much! I would not have attended as many sessions as I did had it not been affordable.
• It is huge! Without this I wouldn’t be able to afford counseling.
• Affordability is important but you can’t put a price on helping your child. I am, however, thankful RPM is more affordable than most places.
• Without RPM, I would not be able to afford counseling. The role that RPM plays in my ability to receive counseling is that it provides the opportunity I would otherwise not have.
• Cost is excellent! Faith-based counseling vs. 12-step (“higher power”) is new approach and what I’ve needed for years!
• The counseling I’ve received should be above the industry standard!! Fortunately, the affordability has allowed me to come more often that I would have been able with a higher fee.
