Abstract: This article advocates for the decolonization of counseling psychology through the lens and integration of restorative justice (RJ) practices. Counseling psychology professionals are urged to attend to interpersonal and structural harms inflicted upon marginalized communities by first assessing and deconstructing deep colonial underpinnings that have informed our understanding of psychological practice, while also committing to continuous movement toward re-indigenizing traditional healing practices and modalities. RJ prompts a shift from individualistic to structural perspectives which is crucial for remedying the deep-seated impacts of colonialism on well-being. In this article, we explore RJ's potential in helping to amplify counseling psychology values centered toward social justice, collectivism, personal growth, accountability, repairing harm, and healing. While critically examining the discipline's role in perpetuating colonial legacies, we assess how RJ principles align with the foundational values of counseling psychology and highlight ways to enhance structural competency perspectives, critical race, and liberation psychology scholarship. The article also provides recommendations on how to more deeply embed RJ principles in counseling psychology education, training, research, advocacy, and clinical practices. Embracing RJ within the profession can help to propel counseling psychology toward a more equitable and responsive profession that vigorously combats the pervasive effects of harm and social injustices.
