Hi, I'm Reevkah and I'm so glad you're here. Life can be difficult, and finding joy can feel out of reach. But I have seen the transformative power of therapy bring happiness to clients who didn't believe it could happen for them. I feel lucky to be part of my client's journey to reaching their goals - which are more attainable than we usually realize. Many of my clients come to me struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, mom-guilt, infertility, faith crises, trauma and relationship concerns.

At Lighthouse Counseling Services, we do not focus on one main treatment area. Instead, each therapist has their own unique specialties, with some overlap, such as treating depression and anxiety alongside their primary areas of focus. This allows us to match clients with the therapist who best fits their needs rather than simply offering the next available appointment. Our team is not only eclectic in terms of individual expertise but also in our approach to therapy. Your therapy is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring a personalized and flexible treatment experience.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists
How does motivational interviewing work?
Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.
Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?
Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.
How long does motivational interviewing last?
Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.
What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?
In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
