Everyone deserves access to affirming care that respects their individual stories and fosters genuine community connection. Welcome to Lantern's Light Counseling Services. We look forward to getting to know you.
Our first appointment will be the an initial intake evaluation. We'll review your mental health history, the challenges that may have brought you to therapy, your background, and whatever else may be relevant to you. We can identify issues you would like to address and talk about best ways to help you get to where you'd like to be.
One of my best traits as a therapist is that I am affirming of clients' identities and meet them where they're at. I personalize collaborative solutions to the matters clients wish to address and make sure that each client receives personalized attention. There is no one size fits all approach.
Clients looking for more balance, a brighter outlook and ways to expand their satisfaction with life through engaging in talk therapy. We focus on understanding the individual's perspective and helping them set and reach goals for therapy and their lives beyond the couch. We pride ourselves on meeting clients where they're at, so to speak. You are welcome to come as you are, with no exceptions. You will find us to be affirming of your identity, your lifestyle, and your relationship styles.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We apply the methods and interventions under CBT through talk therapy with a focus on remaining engaged with an individual's strengths, while also helping them learn better ways to monitor and recognize blind spots.
Gender-affirming therapy
At LLCS, we provide acceptance and compassion when speaking to our clients about their identities and how they feel comfortable being addressed and engaged.
