The Metaphor Behind Our Name

Why We Are Named “Lighthouse”

A lighthouse does not blow the storm clouds away. It does not stop ocean waves from crashing against the shore. Its mission is far more essential: it stands perfectly firm on deep coastal bedrock, casting a powerful, dependable beam into the blackest fog so that approaching ships know where treacherous rocks lie—and where safe harbor waits.

In our practice, we serve as that steady beacon during your most disorienting seasons of grief, marital breakdown, depression, or identity confusion. But our catchphrase does not end with offering light—it calls for multiplication:

“We are the lighthouse of hope, multiplying the light.”

When you rediscover your inner resilience and spiritual clarity, you don’t just survive the storm—you become a source of illumination for your children, your spouse, your colleagues, and your community.

 “My calling is not simply to help you weather life’s turbulence, but to help you locate the unshakable light within you—so that you can navigate forward with clarity and multiply that hope to those around you.”

Founder & Principal Counselor

Gertrude Dickinson

Welcome to Lighthouse Counseling and Wellness. Throughout my years of practice, I have walked alongside men, women, married couples, and young people through some of life’s deepest valleys: bitter relational estrangement, devastating bereavement, overwhelming anxiety, identity crises, and sudden personal trauma.

 

As a counselor holding a Masters in Christian Counseling and an active Member of COMENSA, I believe therapy must bridge the gap between rigorous psychological wisdom and genuine spiritual warmth. I founded Lighthouse Counseling and Wellness on the conviction that no individual is ever broken beyond redemption, and no life storm is permanent.

 

Whether you choose to meet in person at our peaceful practice or connect from anywhere  via our secure online telehealth platform, you will find an environment completely devoid of condemnation, pretense, or judgment.

Matthew 5:14 • Our Spiritual Bedrock

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
