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 LIMHP

    Meet Brandon – Owner of Truth and Restoration Counseling

    I’m Brandon, an independently licensed counselor and the founder of Truth and Restoration Counseling. One of my deepest passions is seeing people break through the barriers that hold them back and step into the fullness of who they were created to be. Life is hard — and it’s often more than just the surface symptoms we wrestle with. I believe that real transformation comes when we identify the root issues and approach them with kindness, curiosity, and clarity.

    My approach is deeply personal and nonjudgmental. I meet people exactly where they are, with compassion and understanding. Whether you're facing pain, confusion, transition, or spiritual struggle, I’m here to help you process, heal, and grow.

    At Truth and Restoration Counseling, our goal is to walk with you as you discover what healing looks like in your life. And most importantly, we seek to discern what Jesus is doing in your heart and life — and how we can align with that, receiving from Him every step of the way.

  • Rachel Green LMHP

    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.

  • Frank Bailey

    Frank Bailey LADC, LMHP, LPC

    As a professional dedicated to providing healing services to adolescents and adults, I integrate the latest scientific information, evidence-based practices, and a Christian perspective to facilitate recovery through the Spirit of God.

    My personal journey includes overcoming substance abuse, having achieved sobriety since January 1986. With 39 years of sobriety and 25 years of experience in the fields of mental health and substance abuse, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to my practice.

    In addition to my professional endeavors, I have a long-standing interest in fishing, which I have enjoyed since the age of 7. I also participate actively in my church choir, where I express my love for singing. I am deeply passionate about facilitating healing through the Spirit of God and the teachings of the Word of God. My goal is to harmonize scientific methods, evidence-based practices, and spiritual guidance to promote holistic healing.

  • Cesia Pedersen Billing Manager

    My name is Cesia, and I’m honored to be part of a mission that blends professional support with faith-based care. At Truth and Restoration Counseling, I manage insurance claims, handle credentialing for our therapists, and help keep our offices organized and welcoming for both clients and staff.

    I was born and raised in Mexico, and in 2002, my family and I moved to the United States to serve the Lord and our church, First Church of the Nazarene Bendicion in Council Bluffs. Growing up in a Christian home, I learned to love the Lord with all my heart, soul, and mind. Over the years, I’ve witnessed His love, mercy, and miracles—not only in my own life, but also in the lives of those we have the privilege to serve.

    I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Bellevue University and bring extensive experience in the administrative field. I’m passionate about using my skills to serve God and support others. Whether I’m assisting with insurance, streamlining processes, or simply keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, my goal is always to create a space where healing can begin.

    Navigating insurance and administrative systems can feel overwhelming, but I’m here to make that process as simple and stress-free as possible—for our team and for every client who walks through our doors.
