Welcome
Family Therapy: Healing Families, One Conversation at a Time
At The Lighter Side, we believe that healing families is possible—no matter where your story begins, whether it involves grief recovery, inner child healing, or trauma counseling.
About THE LIGHTER SIDE COUNSELING
Our Philosophy
At The Lighter Side, our mission is to guide individuals and families through the A.D.U.L.T. Path to Healing—Awareness, Development, Understanding, Learning, and Transformation—serving as a framework for grief recovery from childhood trauma and generational patterns. We believe that by facing the past with compassion and intention, families can achieve healing and create emotionally safe, resilient, and empowered futures. Our focus is on trauma counseling that turns pain into purpose, helping people engage in inner child healing and rediscover the light within.
CORE SERVICES
FAMILY THERAPY
Strengthen connection and break harmful generational cycles through guided, solution-focused sessions that promote trust, communication, and emotional safety for the whole family, while also fostering grief recovery, healing families, and supporting inner child healing through trauma counseling.
GRIEF RECOVERY
Create space to process pain and loss through grief recovery while learning to rebuild with purpose. Healing families begins when we feel seen, supported, and safe, paving the way for inner child healing and effective trauma counseling.
TRAUMA COUNSELING
If you've experienced trauma, it's important to seek help from a qualified therapist. Our trauma counseling services are designed to assist you in working through your trauma while also focusing on grief recovery. Our trained trauma counselors can help you develop healthy coping strategies and support your journey towards healing families. We offer a variety of trauma-focused therapies, including inner child healing, to meet your unique needs.
