Cindy Mondello, Founder

Restoration Place Ministries, a Christian counseling organization that serves girls and women of any age, was founded by Cindy Mondello in the spring of 2005. A group of close friends, along with Cindy’s mentor, met on February 20, 2005, and the vision for Restoration Place was cast. The ministry was incorporated on April 25 and received its 501(c)3 status on July 14, 2005.

Ms. Mondello holds a B.A. in Elementary Education from Louisiana State University-Shreveport and an M.A. in Christian Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary-Charlotte. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of North Carolina and a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.

The organization was founded with a vision to facilitate emotional and spiritual healing in girls and women, while restoring dignity, virtue, and honor to them, and empowering each to embrace her God-given identity. This purpose is achieved by providing significantly-discounted Christ-centered counseling services, thus eliminating the barrier of high cost and resulting in access to the care clients may otherwise be unable to receive.

Having journeyed through her own pain and suffering, Cindy has a passion to minister to other hurting women and now walks as a “healed helper” with them on a path of restoration. In addition to leading the organization as Executive Director, she also provides counseling and support services to lead clients into a true understanding of their worth and value as women created in the image of our loving God.

Ms. Mondello has clinical experience from Moses Cone Behavioral Health Center in Greensboro, NC. She has also spent time counseling at the Greensboro Pregnancy Care Center. She has worked with adult, college-aged, and adolescent clients who struggle primarily with depression, anxiety, disordered eating and body image issues, and relational issues. She is trained in Positive Parenting With a Plan: F.A.M.I.L.Y. Rules.
