Lighthouses are structures, usually with a tower, built onshore or on the seabed to serve as an aid to sailors warning of hazards, helping them establish their position, and guiding them to their destinations. Sometimes, sailors missed the signs, but they were still there.

Most of the time, at best, life can be a rollercoaster ride.  Even when you’re in control, something will suddenly change, and that ride gets a little crazier than you expected. It’s easy to just lower your shoulder and power through, but sometimes even that isn’t enough.  Reaching out for help can be one of the most courageous things you will ever do. 

About Me

Dr. Marcia A. Cooke, LMFT

Welcome to Lighthouse Counseling, I am Dr Marcia Cooke, and I am a licensed professional with over 15 years of experience in mental health therapy and counseling. I earned my Doctor of Psychology in Marital and Family Therapy from Alliant International University, California School of Professional Psychology, San Diego, in 2008. Additionally, I hold a Master of Arts in Human Behavior from National University in San Diego.

Licensed in Nevada, California, Oregon, South Carolina

My Philosophy

At Lighthouse Counseling, my approach to therapy is rooted in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). This evidence-based therapeutic model emphasizes collaboration and problem-solving, rather than instructing clients on what to do. I believe in the innate resilience of each individual and family and that everyone possesses the inner strength to overcome life's challenges.
