Lighthouse Counseling – Reconnect with your Inner Light

We are all on a Hero’s Journey navigating this life we have been given with the challenges and blessings that arise.  Whether you are at the initial phase and unaware that a journey awaits, crossing the threshold to the unknown, in the depths of the despair or ready to integrate your new revelations back into your daily life, I am here for you every step of the way.  I will hold space for you while you awaken the light within to heal.

Together, we can create the changes you would like to make for yourself and/or your family.  As in the symbolic meaning of lighthouse, I will create a safe haven and provide guidance and a way forward for you to overcome challenges and adversity as we co-create safety to navigate the world to be able to live the life you have imagined.  Reconnect with your inner light and find your most authentic self.  Navigating one’s journey from this perspective flows more easily into the life you choose.

About Dr. Kerry Hoag

I am a licensed psychologist in the state of Maine.  I have been immersed in the field of psychology for the past 30 years, with almost 25 years of experience post doctorate.  I am honored to have a private practice in York, ME since 2008.  It is a privilege to work in this community and witness so much individual growth and so many individuals/families navigating their way to the life they imagined.

My greatest clinical lessons have come from my clients, who have generously shared their life stories with me.  I have had the privilege to witness countless individuals, couples and families gain insight from their life experiences. Assisting clients in overcoming their difficulties has not only enhanced my own life but also provided me with various strategies and perspectives that might benefit you.

I focus on treating whole individuals rather than just disorders. I help clients identify and remove thoughts and behavior patterns that keep them stuck and assist them to reconnect with what they value most. For others, we work together to manage heavy burdens such as loss, chronic pain, and chronic illness in a different way.

While many of my clients start therapy with their struggles already identified, (i.e. anxiety, depression, chronic pain), others are seeking greater fulfillment such as closer relationships with others or a more purposeful life. I meet individuals where there are at in their lives, co-create realistic treatment goals and help them reconnect to their own true nature or inner light to guide them through the journey toward personal growth.
