Feeling Like Your Therapist Isn't the Right Fit?
Therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself. If you are struggling to connect with your current therapist, it might be time for a change. We develop trust with individuals, understand their perspectives on the problems they're facing, and provide solutions tailored to their needs. The right therapist can change your life and the way you see things—let’s see if we are the right fit for you!
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 the National University of 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.
