The groundbreaking for the expansion project, which added an impressive 1200 sq. ft. to their facility, took place in May of 2023. Renovate Counseling Services, known for its commitment to providing high-quality mental health counseling services, is situated at 105 West Cherry St. in Bluffton.

Lane Sander, the owner of Renovate Counseling Services, shared the journey of the organization, stating, “I had a dream of opening a facility someday. As I was working at the church, I figured I would see a few people on Friday’s and help some folks here in our community and see where it would go. Seven years ago, we opened our doors.” The growth has been phenomenal, leading to the need for additional space and resources.

The newly expanded facility in Bluffton now spans 3700 sq. ft., boasting 17 offices to accommodate the increased demand for counseling services. Currently, Renovate Counseling Services employs 20 therapists across their Bluffton and Huntington locations, with plans for further expansion to Decatur by April 2024. The organization is dedicated to addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and providing support for couples, families, and children, and more.

As Sander notes, “As stigma continues to be removed from the mental health side of things, people are willing to ask for help and take the steps forward seeking guidance.” Renovate Counseling Services takes pride in offering an unbiased approach to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges.

The organization is actively hiring to meet the growing demand for its services, with plans to add at least five to ten therapists and additional office staff in the coming year. Sander attributes the success and growth of Renovate Counseling Services to its dedicated team of therapists and talented office staff.
