About | Illuminated Counseling Group, PLLC

Why we do what we do...

Everyone is faced with obstacles at some point in their lives. Sometimes these challenges bring up different emotions or you may feel "stuck" and you find yourself having a difficult time processing them. They may even be affecting your work/school, relationships, family, or day-to-day activities. Therapy can provide a safe space to work through these challenges. We believe therapy is a collaborative effort where we work together to navigate through difficult emotions, patterns, and behaviors that may be contributing to problems, and any obstacles in the way of changing for the better.

Mission Statement

We are committed to providing compassionate and inclusive mental health care. With integrity as our cornerstone, we collaborate closely with each individual to foster growth, healing, and well-being. Our mission is to create a supportive environment where every client feels valued, understood, and empowered on their journey towards their goals.

Values

Compassion

Kindness, understanding, and empathy help to make up a compassionate approach to serving you in a counseling setting.

Integrity

Acting with integrity means operating in an open, honest, reliable, and authentic way that is respectful to you, our clients, as well as to ourselves. This means doing the right thing (ethical) even when faced with difficult decisions.

Collaborative

Success is greater when we work together. We believe in a collaborative approach where together we develop goals and work towards them mutually at your own pace.

Inclusive

Every person’s story, experience, and perspective is unique. We welcome people from every background and make sure that our clinicians and staff reflect the mindset and skills in serving all populations.

Respect for Human Dignity

Honoring and respecting human individuality and treating every person as a unique individual. It means holding space where you feel valued, and trust, develop, and grow mentally and emotionally.
