Guiding Light Counseling aspires to provide each person with an individualized, unique experience to counseling. Individuals will receive high-quality, professional services from counselors trained in providing mental health and substance abuse counseling. Our goal is to help individuals identify their strengths so they can move forward with their life goals. We aim to provide accessible, cost-effective services so everyone can obtain the treatment they need and deserve.  Mental health counselors work with individuals, families, and groups to address and treat mental and emotional disorders and to promote mental health. They are trained in a variety of therapeutic techniques used to address issues such as depression, anxiety, substance use, suicidal impulses, stress, trauma, low self-esteem, and grief.

Description of the services specifically offered to VVSD students/families:

Guiding Light Counseling provides in-school services to all schools within the VVSD.  Our trained counselors partner with school staff to provide individual and group counseling to identified students during the school day.  In addition, our counselors serve as Success Mentors at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, providing one-on-one counseling, group counseling, and family support to identified students.
