Get to Know Us

How We Began:

​

Guiding Light was born from a place of profound struggle—a journey through darkness that felt endless at times. As a Christian, I found myself overwhelmed by the battles of life, feeling beaten down and searching for a way out. In those moments, I discovered a refuge in God that became my lifeline. I clung to His promises, finding hope and healing in the very character of the God I had read about in Scripture.

​

Through my own journey, I faced deep mental and spiritual hurdles—wrestling with my call to ministry, grappling with the depths of depression, and confronting thoughts of ending it all.

 

Yet, in the midst of my darkest moments, I found that God truly is who He says He is. He met me right where I was, with a love that pierced through the shadows, guiding me toward a light that was far more powerful than any darkness I had ever known. It was in this transformative encounter with God's grace and truth that I realized He is the answer to unlocking our greatest potential.

​

This revelation ignited a passion in me to help others find that same light. I knew there were others out there, navigating their own battles, feeling surrounded and all but consumed by the darkness.

​​

I wanted to be a guide for them—a beacon of hope leading them out of their despair and into the marvelous light that had so powerfully transformed my own life.

 

Thus, Guiding Light was born. It was created out of a deep desire to seamlessly integrate mental health support with spiritual direction and guidance. Our mission is to help others experience the fullness of life that Jesus Christ offers—a life of freedom, healing, and abundant joy.

 

Through faith and professional counseling, we aim to be a guiding light for those seeking a way out of their struggles and into a life of purpose and peace.

​Why We Exist:


We believe that every individual deserves to experience the fullness of life that Jesus promises—a life that is abundant, joyful, and purpose-filled. However, this often requires confronting and healing the mental and spiritual wounds that hold us back. That's why we created Guiding Light Wellness: to offer a space where faith and evidence-based mental health support coexist, empowering believers to live their most vibrant lives.

What makes us different?​​

​

We believe in integrating faith with mental health support in a way that most counseling services don't. Here's how Guiding Light Wellness stands out:

​

1.

  • Others: Run by General Counselors

    • Lacking specialized training in faith-based approaches, many services do not prioritize spiritual integration or approach it from a limited perspective.

​

  • Guiding Light: Led by Highly Trained and Experienced Counselors

    • Our lead counselor holds a Master's degree in Counseling, a Master of Divinity, and is Nationally Certified. This dual expertise allows us to seamlessly blend mental health practices with spiritual direction.

​

2.

  • Others: Faith and Evidence-Based Services Not Seamlessly Integrated

    • Many counselors focus either on faith or evidence-based methods, often neglecting one for the other. This can leave clients feeling conflicted or unsupported in their spiritual journey.

​

  • Guiding Light: Integrated Faith and Evidence-Based Counseling

    • Our approach is holistic and integrated. We believe in the transformative power of combining faith-based principles with evidence-based therapeutic techniques, ensuring a balanced path to healing.

​

3.

  • Others: One-Size-Fits-All Approaches

    • Some services use generic models that do not account for the unique spiritual needs or personal experiences of each individual.

​

  • Guiding Light: Personalized, Spirit-Led Guidance

    • We honor each client's story and walk with them through their journey, led by the Holy Spirit, to uncover personalized solutions that are in line with God’s plan for them.

​

4.

  • Others: Limited Tools for Sustained Change

    • Without proper spiritual grounding or comprehensive mental health strategies, many approaches fail to equip clients for lasting transformation.

​

  • Guiding Light: Equipping Clients with Spiritual and Practical Tools

    • From "Spiritual Weapons of Mass Destruction" to the Full Armor of God, we provide you with the spiritual tools and practical strategies you need for sustained growth and resilience.

Mission

Our mission is to bridge the gap between mental health and spirituality, offering holistic healing and renewal to those who seek it.

 

We strive to guide Christians on a transformative journey from darkness to light, helping them rediscover their inner strength, well-being, and spiritual vitality through evidence-based mental health practices and the powerful work of Christ.

Vision

We envision a world where Christians are healthy, happy, and whole, fully empowered by their faith, boldly on mission for Christ, and serving as unwavering beacons of light in the midst of life's challenges.

 

We envision a future where the intersection of mental health and spirituality is celebrated, where Christians embrace the renewing of their minds, and where each individual radiates the transformative power of Christ, embodying abundant life and well-being.
