Testimonials

“I used to keep everything inside of me until I started a therapy session. I never knew how to act because everything I said would be rude. Some people think getting therapy is a bad thing, but it helps you a lot in life. Now, if I get mad, I know exactly how to calm myself down and how to behave appropriately. My life is more positive since I accept and let everything go. I get to enjoy the stuff I didn’t, like just like homework. In therapy, I learned many things which turned me into a better, responsible person. All of the negative feelings went away and now I’m doing fine. I’m happy that I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to change my life”.

“Getting out from an unhealthy relationship is not easy. I reached for help because I knew I could not do it by myself.  So, I decided to start therapy. I loved my therapeutic sessions from day one. I felt understood and received all the support I needed to become who I am today. I learned to really get to know myself, my needs, my desires, and understand the root of my unhealthy reactions. It has definitely been an awakening path for me to realize who I am and what I truly want in my life. I learned to recognize my flaws and to find effective ways to manage them and to improve them one day at a time. I also learned about how to be in healthy relationship. It has been a wonderful process. I believe, I am no longer co-dependent, needy, reactive, explosive, spoiled, dramatic, selfish, insecure and controlling. Of course, I am still working on some things. Now I can say, I am happy, and stable. I can proudly say I have a healthy balanced life with a wonderful style of life that keeps me from relapsing. I am very grateful for your help. Thank you for being in my life."

.“I used to be sad and I used to hate my mom. After I started a therapy session, I started learning things I never knew before. I started learning how to be respectful and understanding. Now, I am more responsible and more successful in life. I understand why my mother wasn’t there for me and now I know how to be happier. I look forward into completing all of my goals because I know I can do it. I don’t get in trouble anymore because I realized how I can calm myself down, so I don’t say anything disrespectful. I think that anyone that was affected by something should take therapy, because it will help them become their true self, just like it helped me.”

“Therapy has helped me improve on my self-esteem, coping and how I think. My self-esteem has improved a lot. Now I think more highly of myself than before. I also learn to cope correctly with my emotions. And, my thinking has improved very much. Now, I notice when I think negative, so I challenge my unhealthy thoughts with good ones.

Thank you for your help.”

"My son has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and he also experienced the lengthy divorce of me and my ex-wife. As a result, his schoolwork had suffered for an extended period of time, and I was struggling to help him.

I sought help through Lighthouse, and it has been a dramatically positive life experience for both, my son and me.

My son has been receiving therapy for a year. Lighthouse therapist approach has been perfect. The therapist established a trusting relationship with my son, and always listens to him and me to understand the circumstances. She helped my son Identify his emotions and deal with them in a positive and socially acceptable way. She is a great communicator and keeps me up to date on progress and approaches that I can use at home to reinforce my sons’ new positive behavior patterns.

Before working with Lighthouse, my son would shut down in class and refused to work. His grades suffered and he had plenty of C’s, D’s and F’s on his report card. However, since working with his therapist, I am happy to report that my son got all A’s and B’s on his last two report cards. It is the first time in his life that he got no grades below a B.

I fully support other parents to receive therapeutic treatment at Lighthouse."

“Since I started therapy at Lighthouse, I feel much happier. I am more confident about myself.  Therapy has helped me to express more my feelings with my family members. I stopped worrying as much. Now, I do not feel lonely and I like to be more around people. I learned to have positive thoughts and think about other possibilities rather than only see my point of view. I am more active and independent. Now, I do my house chores without complaining, do my homework, and I do different activities during the weekend rather than staying at home in my bedroom. I am very grateful for having Therapy”.

“Thanks for helping me out. You showed me how to calm myself down when feeling worried. You helped me express my feelings and be there for me. You will always have a space in my heart. You are the best therapist. I thank you a lot!"
