Welcome to Restoration.
My name is Rachel Chiu (she/her) and I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Greenville, SC. True story: marriage and couples counseling is my jam. My passion. My thing. I’ve known this since starting my work with couples while in graduate school back in 2012.
I work with couples who have lost their way from each other but know they want to find their way back.
I know that you GENUINELY LOVE EACH OTHER and yet you can’t stop this messy dance that happens between you two - I mean, you’ve probably tried but it’s gotten you nowhere and that’s why you’re here, reading this, wondering, “How is she different than the 876 other therapists in the Upstate?”
Here’s the thing - I believe you already have everything you need within you to fix this. Truly. So our task in couples and marriage counseling is to work together to figure out what’s happening together, name it, and change it. I’m holding a place of hope for your relationship. Will you join me in hoping, too?

Equity statement:
I want to work to create a protected space for people who hold different identities from mine. While I identify as a white, cisgender, heteronormative, vanilla female - I realize that a good portion of the clients-to-be who visit this website are not. If you identify as: a BIPOC (black, indigenous, person of color), as LGBTQIA+, are a religious minority, neuro-diverse, a kink person (or couple), a consensual poly person (or couple), or a person differently-abled than me - I want you to know I am working to spend my privilege, own my biases, and I consult with colleagues who have experiences and wisdom I lack. I am committed to continually educating myself to do better as an ally and as a person who endeavors to be anti-racist. If you identify as a person who is a minority for one of the above reasons (or one that I missed), please reach out to discuss how I may best serve you. If I’m not a good fit for some reason, I will make sure to refer you to someone who is. Your identity is beautiful and worthy.
