What is new at Beacon: Faith and Family

Beacon: Faith and Family, Christian Counseling Services, opened her doors in early January and since that time has been a tremendous blessing, I hope to those I get to come alongside, but for myself as I love being used by God this way. 

Other counselor friends of mine have shared that God grows and hems their practices precisely to His timing and our need.  Our family underwent many transitions this summer and Beacon sustained and maintained.  Fall ushers in a new phase and it is one where I feel called to reach out.  Fall is HARD on so many!!  Between the transition, the darkness, the upcoming Holidays...it's just hard and it is not unusual to see either and increase in depressive or anxious symptoms or to see them develop even if they have never been an issue before.  This is also a time when any losses we have experiences, especially in the last year, start to weigh even heavier on us.
It is still my heart's desire to shine the Light of Christ in dark places, so I will be adding some services starting mid October. In addition to providing individual and family sessions I will be adding some groups and classes:

Walk In Wednesdays: I will be in our Mishler Buidling Office from 1-5 Wednesdays, available for walk in appointments.  If the door is closed/ in session, please text "I would like your next walk in session" to 620-278-6295 and go have a tea or coffee at The Point or wait in the Light Post and peruse our books and coloring pages.  (Wi-Fi available).  I will text you as soon as I am available. $35 per session.  FREE 15 min consult. Starting October  17th.



  • Support for Grief and Loss: Starting October 17th, Noon to 1PM in the Mishler Building Office.  This will be an open support group, where we will discuss loss, the benefit of mourning our losses and the tools to do so. This will also provide a safe space to do so. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Free will love offering for supplies.


Shatter the Silence: Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence Support Group: Have you or a friend been the victim of sexual assault or domestic/ dating violence?  Then one of your #1 needs is support.  You are NOT alone.  Come by the Mishler Building from 7-8PM on Wednesday nights and receive the support that can help break the chains of these tormenting issues in your life. Also starting October 17t
 No fee, enough has been taken.



Individual Mini Series:  Some life issues benefit the most from information & support.  If you are facing Stress Management, Conflict Resolution, Anger Management, Grief and Loss, SA/DV issues consider Beacon's Mini Series.  When traditional "counseling" does not seem like the right fit consider these mini series sessions.  We will go over basic information regarding the issue, specify your place and needs, create and implement a plan and evaluate its effectiveness. $25 per 4-6 sessions (Must be used in a 2 month period of time). 

John 16:33 New International Version (NIV)
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
