General Counseling or Coaching for a Global Worker can be for routine health maintenance or in response to a particular struggle. It may be self-initiated or required by a supervisor. When working with one of our preferred providers, the provider will bill Reliant directly. Reliant covers 25% of the first 12 sessions every year. For these sessions, 25% will be paid from the Reliant Member Care Fund and the remaining 75% will be charged to the MTD account. Any additional sessions in the calendar year will be charged 100% to the MTD account. |

ReStory Counseling is located in Northern Colorado, but also works with clients virtually. Their founder and CEO is a former international worker in Central Asia with Cru. They are able to offer licensed counseling if you are in the state of Colorado due to licensure, but are able to offer Storywork virtually anywhere in the world! They believe that every one of us has significant and shaping narratives that deeply impact our beliefs and interpretations about ourselves, relationships, God, and the world. These stories from the past inform how we engage in the present, and many times we find ourselves stuck in narratives not our own. Storywork Coaching invites you to enter those stories from a posture of honesty, honor, and kindness, and reclaim those parts of you that were lost or stolen. Storywork is not therapy, as it does not address issues of mental health or diagnoses. Storywork Coaches have obtained a variety of degrees, certificates, and endorsements and they have also gone through our ReStory® Institute Level One. Cost for sessions is around $110 per session depending on the counselor. Contact their ReStory Client Care Coordinator at info@restory.life if you have questions or go to https://www.restory.life/contact to fill out a quick form to get started. |
