Welcome to Brooks & Birch
Where Light Restores and Values Transform
At Brooks & Birch, we are dedicated to guiding individuals, couples, and families toward restoration and healing. Many people grapple with feelings of disconnection within unhealthy relationships, struggle with church-related hurts, and feel lost in navigating their faith and values. Our mission centres on:
RESTORING WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE BELIEVE AND WHAT WE BELIEVE IN.
We offer one-on-one counselling and group workshops designed to help you uncover your core values, rediscover your authentic self, and find clarity in your relationships and beliefs. Our work includes values mapping, counselling for religious and spiritual abuse, youth and young adult counselling, and restorative marriage work — including honest conversations about when to heal together and when to step away from a unhealthy relationship.
We believe healing is more than recovery — it’s restoration.
What Does Restoration Look Like?
Restoration can take many forms as you begin on your journey toward healing, such as discovering your core values which is essential in living authentically from the inside out, additionally, addressing past wounds caused by trauma and/or religious experiences, and fostering healthier, more fulfilling relationships. At Brooks & Birch, we guide you through these transformative processes, empowering you to envision and pursue a life filled with healing, authenticity, purpose, and meaningful connections.

Restorative Marriage
Marriage is a beautiful partnership built on love, respect, and mutual support. We work with you to help create relationships that lift each other up and nurture growth. We offer a restorative approach to marriage counselling that helps couples rebuild trust, communication, and connection — or, when needed, navigate parting ways with compassion and integrity. We know that every marriage faces challenges, and it's not about throwing in the towel when things get tough; Sometimes, however, leaving an unhealthy marriage is the best choice—and we understand that it can be scary, especially with the fear of how family or friends might react. That fear can make people feel stuck in relationships that are hurting them. We're here to encourage open conversations and mutual support so couples can not only working together towards a healthy marriage but also recognize when it's time to walk away from harmful dynamics.
These sessions invite truth, understanding, and hope back into the relationship process.

Elizabeth Campbell RTC
Elizabeth Campbell is a trauma counselor, author and co-founder of Brooks & Birch. Her work centers on helping people heal the parts of themselves that have been wounded by life — whether through trauma, anxiety, or painful experiences within faith communities.
She has spent years walking with individuals who’ve been deeply hurt by the church — those carrying the heavy mix of confusion, shame, and loss that often follows religious abuse.
Elizabeth helps clients work through those messages, rebuild trust, and rediscover a faith or spirituality that feels safe, authentic, and life-giving again.
Elizabeth also has a heart for teens and young adults — those figuring out who they are, what they believe, and how to handle the pressure of growing up in a complicated world. Her background includes training in trauma therapy, youth and adolescent mental health, self-harm support, and play therapy with children.
Elizabeth’s approach is relational and real — meeting clients where they are, without judgment or pretense. She creates a space to be honest about what’s hard, to heal what’s been heavy, and to reconnect with the steady, grounded sense of self that’s been there all along.
