You've tried to pray through it. You've talked to friends. But the anxiety, the grief, the relationship pain — it's still there. If you're a Christian in Washington State who wants therapy that takes your faith as seriously as your struggle, you're in the right place. Illuminate Christian Counseling offers Jesus-centered, clinically grounded telehealth — for all of Washington, on your schedule.
I'm Rachel Guadamuz, MA, LMHC — a licensed therapist, Gottman Level 2 trained, and follower of Jesus. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and relationship pain for Christians who want the Holy Spirit in the room, not just good coping tools. My approach weaves CBT, IFS, and attachment theory with Scripture — because whole-person healing matters.
You don't have to have it all figured out to reach out. A free 15-minute consultation is the only first step. Let's see if we're a good fit — and get you moving toward the life you were created for.

My core framework is Object Relations, which explores how early relational attachments shape how we see ourselves, others, and God. I weave in CBT, IFS, Gottman, and trauma-focused approaches, always held within a Christian worldview. Sessions are collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence and Scripture.
