April Bonney
Hello! I am April, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working in the behavioral health field for ten years in a variety of roles such as case management, care coordination, and now providing therapy.
I am excited to be at Restoration working alongside clients in their healing journey.
I hope to offer a validating, supportive, and a non- judgmental space. I have a passion for supporting clients in cultivating self-compassion. I weave in elements from
CBT, DBT, parts work, and motivational interviewing while using a trauma informed approach. I also incorporate client’s faith and Biblical principles for clients who are interested.
When not working I enjoy hanging out with my husband and two Labrador Retrievers Beesly and Holly.

Kimberly Lorenzini
Kimberly is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). Kimberly is a graduate of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and Colorado Christian University. Kimberly has worked with victims of violent crimes, and domestic violence. Kimberly has worked in the native communities for nine years.
Kimberly focuses sessions on learning skills in Internal Family Systems, Bowen Family Systems, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. As a result, the client discovers different parts of his or her thinking and understands the importance of the family unit and the need for validation, acknowledgment, and support within the family structure. Focusing on the relationship between the client, and those he or she interacts with understanding humans crave unconditional love, and by offering that, we unlock a client’s defenses and help gain trust in their instincts. Kimberly hopes each client learns to depend on himself/herself by understanding self and increasing those protective instincts we each have within us. Kimberly seeks to provide an environment where clients gain new skills to create the changes, they want by gaining insight into why they do what they do while relying on and growing their inner strengths.
Kimberly is a Christian who applies biblical understanding to life problems and encourages clients to focus on their spiritual strength in Christ.

Mary Murphy
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of New Mexico. I graduated Suma Cum Laude with an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Colorado Christian University in December 2019. Prior to undertaking the journey of my graduate degree, I utilized my undergraduate degree of Zoology working in research as well as many years as technician assistant in the veterinary field. I believe in addressing the connection between spirit, mind, and body in assisting people in their growth and overcoming life’s challenges. I have experience working with clients walking through depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, life transitions, parenting, and healing from abusive relationships.
I believe in the power of narrative in navigating our way through the complexity and pain we all inevitably face in life. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy; combining a Christian existential foundation, a nonjudgemental presence, and exercise from evidence based theories such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients understand their story as they are currently seeing it and walk with them through the process of rewriting their stories to be full of grace and more conducive to achieving their goals.
My areas of passion include working with adults with ADHD to feel more in control through education, skill building and environmental modification, as well as sitting with individuals facing grief and loss of all kinds, but specifically pet loss. I have seen the power of the human animal bond and understand the lack of support for people grieving the loss of their beloved companions.
