Greetings, to better serve you, please get in touch with me via email. Just hit the Email Me button. Looking forward to connecting. Welcome. I am LinTiya McCleary, LPC, LCMHC, Love & Light Counseling owner. Living in a society where you live by everyone's standards except your own is mentally debilitating. You may be anxiously trying to be accepted into a society that looks negatively on your values. You may be depressed by constantly seeking validation. Your personality may be enticed by distorted thinking, and you may be facing an identity crisis. No matter your challenge, you have found someone who can help you be your true self.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental environment, where you can openly express yourself, your thoughts, and your feelings. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, depression, adjustment disorders, and ADHD to name a few. I practice using holistic therapy, solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and other modalities that will be tailored to your needs.
I am a "people-first " counselor who offers a space for you to be you. I am compassionate about helping people and promoting mental well-being. I hope that you will allow me to walk with you on your journey to be the best version of yourself. I offer telehealth counseling services through Headway, Rula, & SimplePractice.

Groups
Women's Support Group Ages 26-34
Life in your late 20s and early 30s can feel overwhelming, uncertain, and emotionally exhausting at times. Between relationships, career stress, self-discovery, anxiety, family responsibilities, and healing from past experiences, it’s easy to feel like you have to carry everything alone — but you don’t. This women’s support group is designed to create a safe, supportive, and empowering space for women ages 26–34 to connect, heal, grow, and encourage one another through life’s transitions and challenges. Together, we’ll discuss topics such as self-worth, boundaries, emotional wellness, relationships, stress management, healing, and personal growth in a judgment-free environment.
