Kyle Sussenbach

Job Titles:
  • Staff Member
I'm Kyle, and I am honored that you are considering doing counseling with me. I mean that. Counseling is a sacred and surreal privilege to me. I was 18 when God started prompting me to become a therapist, and now that I'm here, I feel confident that this is what He created me to do. I hope that through reading this, and in our first interactions, that you will feel like I really care. I strive to create a safe place for you to explore, process, and grow toward the abundant life that I believe, with everything in me, that God wants for you. I have a particular passion for couples. Whether you have deeply wounded each other, are lost on how to navigate your relationship, or simply need some encouragement, I believe that God made me to help couples grow in intimacy towards each other. Please check out my blog, "The Adventure of Vulnerability," to see what I mean. I do my best work helping couples that have been hurt and continue to see the effects of their woundedness in their relationships. My question for you is this: Do you ever experience distress that feels disproportionate to your situation? If so, I can help you navigate this and move towards a healthier and more grounded life.

Paige Santmyer

Job Titles:
  • Staff Member
My name is Paige Santmyer, and I am very excited to be joining the team at Restoration Counseling of Atlanta (RCA) in Roswell. I graduated from my master's program at Richmont Graduate University earlier this year with a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a Trauma Certificate and thoroughly enjoyed getting hands-on experience during my internships last year. During that time, I worked with teens ages 12 to 17 at an Atlanta-area inpatient facility as well as saw clients ages six to sixty-something individually at the Hope Center in Dallas, GA. I have worked with a wide variety of needs, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, relationship problems, individuals contemplating divorce or recovering from extramarital affairs, extensive trauma histories, self-esteem building, life transitions, and more. I particularly enjoy helping teenagers navigate through their middle and high school years when they struggle with identity, boundaries, confidence, and school and social pressures. Welcome Paige Santmyer! My name is Paige Santmyer, and I am very excited to be joining the team at Restoration …
