About Us
Our Purpose
Truth and Restoration Counseling was started in August of 2018 based on the desire to be able to speak Christian truth to people in a loving way that leads them to restoration. This is our ideal and what we will always strive for with all our clients.

Brandon Pedersen
I (Brandon) love seeing people reach their potential, and break through the hurdles that hold them back. My strengths/gifts are designed to meet people where they are on an individual basis without judgement and with understanding. Life can be painful. Often times we go through life trying to fix a symptom to an underlying problem, I strive to be kind and efficient in identifying these issues and brainstorming towards a solution. For two years I have worked at the Siena Francis House helping people at their bottom find hope and healing.
I am an Independently licensed counselor which means I have completed over 2000 hours with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and schizoaffective disorders as well. I also have my drug and alcohol license and can offer clients guidance through their addiction. I am a probation provider and have an Iowa license.

Asking for help is not easy for many of us. Reaching out to a therapist can feel like admitting defeat. I believe, however, that it can be one of the bravest things you can do! Whatever difficulty you are walking through, whether it be grief, trauma, shame or guilt you are worth the time and effort of walking towards peace and healing. If you feel weighed down with life and would like help processing and moving forward, I would like to help.
I am someone who asks tough questions, provides undivided attention, and seeks to understand. I love helping people unburden and untangle big life stuff. I have experience working with a wide variety of people and a variety of situations through my history of case management and counseling.
You deserve a great therapist that you click with, who makes you feel comfortable and safe and who goes at your pace.

Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Practitioner (LMHP) and a Professional Counselor (PC) with over 7 years of experience in the state of Nebraska. I am a mother of 4 children and we love being active. All 4 are actively involved in sports. I grew up in North Platte, NE. I went to college at Creighton University and transferred to Bellevue University where I obtained my Master’s Degree. I am a Christian and practice my faith and believe in the power of prayer.
I have enjoyed working with individuals and couples over the years. When you look at your life do you see a history of difficult relationships, hopelessness, or are you searching for a purpose? As a therapist, I believe that everyone has strengths, the ability to find joy, and have meaningful relationships all while working through pain and anxiety. I work with individuals, couples, and families challenged with relationship and family conflict, depression, anxiety and self-esteem issues. I specialize in Emotionally Focused therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and heavily in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
I know that reaching out for therapy can provoke anxiety but I see it as courage and providing hope for your future! I believe that feeling comfortable and cared for are essential for your counseling process. Being heard is a must! Positive changes occur when individuals feel empowered and have trust with their therapist. As a counselor I can successfully assist you in understanding and managing the difficult challenges life brings your way. Let's journey down this path of healing together. business.
