| Lighthouse
Counseling and Wellness Center
was conceived
in 2000 by Gretchen Morgan and Mary Pat McGeehin. At that time, they opened
a small psychotherapy practice in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, that
operated under the name, Lighthouse Counseling. The primary focus of the
practice was psychotherapy, specializing in children and trauma.Their
search for effective treatment led them to expand their use of both Sandplay
Therapy and EMDR. In 2004, Ruth Castellano joined the practice, and all
three partners expanded their mission to include integrative treatment
of their clients. This evolution was in response to the expanding body
of research which illustrated that the mind-body connection was integral
to the healing of mental health issues. A move to a larger facility in
Monmouth County soon followed, adding space for a massage therapy room,
a large Sandplay Room as well as additional offices to accommodate like
-minded clinicians wishing to practice in a Wellness Center. All partners have been adjunct faculty of undergraduate or graduate level classes, have had advanced Sandplay Therapy training and are members of the Association for Play Therapy, Inc., the Sandplay Therapists of America and The East Coast Sandplay Association. In addition, all our partners are Level II EMDR practioners and have had extensive training in trauma. Gretchen and Mary Pat are members of the National Association of Social Workers. Ruth Castellano is a member of the American Counseling Association and the New Jersey Counseling Association. All partners are Licensed by the State of New Jersey. |
