Nicholas Bernier, Graduate Student Intern

I’m Nicholas, and I am thrilled to join you on your journey of discovery and healing. Have you realized that you may not have everything in life figured out as you thought you did? Maybe some hurdles feel too tall, or valleys too deep to traverse alone. For many years, I chose to hide my feelings and struggles from others—and even from myself. But through fellowship and acceptance, I began to face those challenges, and in doing so, I discovered the power of
vulnerability, growth, and healing.

That personal journey is what led me to the field of counseling. I’ve experienced firsthand how life-changing it can be to sit with someone who truly listens—who creates a space where you feel safe, known, and supported. The impact of others on my life called me to join with and serve others in their pursuit of freedom and growth.

I have a passion to walk alongside anyone navigating issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, and the internal battles we often keep hidden. I believe that change is possible, no matter how stuck or overwhelmed you may feel, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

My approach is grounded in a person-centered foundation that honors your unique story and values authenticity in the counseling space. I also incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to provide practical tools that support emotional and behavioral change. My hope is to offer a space that feels safe, welcoming, and judgment-free—a place where you can be fully yourself.

I see clients in person at our Roswell location and also offer virtual sessions. To schedule a session, please contact our admin team at admin@restorationcounselingatl.com.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. – Joshua 1:9
