People Stories

It is hard to capture how a fantastic therapist can impact your life. This has been a process of transformation rather than development. I can comfortably say, that many people in my life are grateful that I was blessed with such a talented psychologist. Thank you for showing me the beauty and the strength that lays within me.

Male, 39, Award Winning CEO and Entrepreneur

I sought out grief counseling after my wife’s sudden demise, leaving behind two teenage children. I knew therapy would help ease the pain. Therapy gave me immediate perspective on a major crisis, during the most difficult period of my life. It did not bring my wife back, but certainly aided us in the journey to rehabilitation, given how devastating her passing away was for us. The ambiance in The LightHouse is soothing to start with. The grief support sessions were an eye opener and gave me space to be myself without being embarrassed to express my fears, as well as to shed my tears.
