We provide counseling services to individuals, couples, and families referred to us by pastors and lay leaders. We work with children, adolescents, and adults.

Mental health coaching is typically focused on setting and achieving specific goals, enhancing personal development, and improving overall life satisfaction. Coaches work with clients to develop actionable strategies to overcome challenges and achieve goals. Coaching concentrates on the present and future, helping clients move forward rather than delving deeply into past issues.

Mental health coaches usually obtain certification from coaching programs. These programs may vary widely in terms of rigor and length. Coaches might come from diverse professional backgrounds and may not necessarily have extensive formal training in psychology or mental health.

 Emphasizes self-improvement, setting and reaching personal and professional goals, and enhancing life skills. Helps clients stay motivated and accountable in their pursuit of goals. Typically deals with non-clinical issues and life challenges, rather than mental health disorders.

Hosting a satellite office offers multiple benefits: 

• • Increased accessibility of Christian-based professional counseling to members of the church 
  • Provision of an onsite resource to those that the church is ministering to in the community 
  • Positive image of the church in the community as a place that cares about the mental health of people 
  • Providing a service that enables people from outside of the church to come onto the campus of the church and have a positive experience 
  • Serving as an onsite resource to leaders in the church who may need consultation related to those they are ministering to 
  • Provide professionally trained Christian counselors, teaching resources, consultation services, and competitive rates with a sliding scale for church members 

We offer staff development packages to help churches enhance their ministry effectiveness. This program involves working with either the pastoral staff of large churches or the lay leaders of small to mid-sized churches. It consists of individual coaching for each of your pastors/leaders and group sessions where particular attention is given to the dynamics of the group as a whole. This is accomplished using leadership and personality inventories, which draw attention to the group’s strengths and weaknesses. 

This program typically takes place over a 2-4 month period and involves 2-3 individual sessions and 2-3 group sessions. We can modify the package to best meet your church’s needs. The value of this service is that it enhances the effectiveness of each individual on your team and moves your team toward experiencing biblical community. 

The Counseling Assistance Program (CAP) is a referral mechanism for church leadership and functions, similar to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP).  Through this, the fees for church members—who normally would not otherwise have access to Christian counseling—are on a sliding price scale.

Members receive counseling services at significantly reduced rates when a church has a CAP contract with Light Counseling.  The CAP price scale would be available to church members specifically recommended by the pastoral staff for church members on an as-needed basis who do not otherwise have private insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. 

The advantage of this program is that it encourages people in the congregation who need help to seek that help because it is more affordable. It also frees the pastor from spending large amounts of time counseling people, thereby enabling him to invest his time in leading and creating a vision for his church.
