There's a line in a Rumi poem that says "the wound is the place where the Light enters you". This was an inspiration for our name. We believe that wounds, pain, and sorrow can be heavy to carry. Often times we'd rather not have had that experience at all, because as we know, none of us go seeking out pain and struggle. But, we also know that these experiences have the potential to be transformative. We may not be able to change the fact that we were wounded, and we can grieve that, and we can also let the light in.

In times of struggle, it can feel like we're fumbling around in the dark, feeling unsure about which way to go and what to do. We feel stuck. Lanterns are a source of light, something that can guide us and illuminate our path, helping us see things more clearly. 

At Lantern Psychology, this is what we strive to provide for our clients. We walk alongside you, holding the light for you, so that you can take your time looking around, making sense of things, and figuring out what your next steps might be.
