Our Healing and Growth Services
The Seven Stages of Light™
The Seven Stages of Light™ methodology designed by Almavida Mara guides trauma survivors through a progressive healing journey from darkness to illumination, moving from foundational safety and story acknowledgment culminating in becoming radiant sources of healing light who break intergenerational trauma cycles and transform communities.
Narrative Therapy
Instead of seeing clients as broken or defined by their trauma, narrative therapy recognizes that people have rich, multi-layered stories and helps them identify their strengths, values, and preferred ways of being that may have been overshadowed by problem-saturated narratives.
The core principle at Lighted Stages is that "the person is not the problem; the problem is the problem."
Story Seeds Children's Program
Story Seeds Children's Program Story Seeds is a prevention program that helps parents in recovery create children's books and share healing stories with their kids, breaking the cycle of family trauma before it passes to the next generation.
