Who we are

At Children of Light Counseling in Spokane, we are a faith-based counseling practice committed to helping individuals, couples, and families find genuine healing, hope, and restoration right here in the Inland Northwest.

Our name draws inspiration from a timeless truth in Scripture:

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.” — Ephesians 5:8 (NIV)

This verse beautifully captures the journey of transformation—from shadows of pain, confusion, or struggle into the light of God's grace, truth, and love. We see counseling as a pathway to that wholeness: emotional renewal, relational repair, spiritual growth, and renewed purpose in Christ.

Interestingly, the name "Spokane" itself carries a profound echo of light and life. Derived from the Spokane Tribe—the original inhabitants of this land—the name is commonly translated as "Children of the Sun" in the Salish language. This reflects the tribe's deep connection to the sun as a source of life, warmth, and vitality. In a place called home by "Children of the Sun," we feel a special resonance with our calling to help people step into the light. It's a reminder that healing and hope have deep roots here, blending the beauty of this land with the transformative power of faith.

Our Mission We provide professional, licensed therapy that integrates Christian principles with proven therapeutic methods (such as CBT, trauma-informed care, and emotion-focused approaches). Faith is included gently and respectfully—Scripture for encouragement, prayer when welcomed, and a Biblical lens on identity, forgiveness, and grace—always honoring your unique beliefs and pace.
