The Lighthouse Emotional Wellness Center, located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, is the premiere Center of its kind in the Midwest offering a unique combination of traditional, holistic and integrative therapies to treat the everyday emotional, physical and mental struggles we all endure in life. It is our belief that overall wellness is achieved by attending to the many facets of a person's life, and that our emotions can be a guide throughout this process of change, leading to greater happiness and better relationships. Although we offer traditional practices such as psychiatry, individual counseling and family counseling, our services incorporate a wide variety of integrative therapies as well, addressing a client's needs holistically. Services such as acupuncture, emotion-focused body therapy, biofeedback, massage therapy and hypnotherapy, or hypnosis, can often compliment and intensify the changes one is trying to make in their lives when integrated into their overall treatment.
Our couples counseling program alone is unique in that it isn't offered anywhere else in the Midwest, let alone the entire country, and couples have crossed great distances to benefit from our unique approach. Developed by the founders of The Lighthouse, Ray & Jean Kadkhodaian, and worlds away from traditional marriage counseling, their approach has benefited thousands of individuals whether they were married, divorced, or just dating, and has helped them transform their relationships into what they truly wanted in their lives.
Making changes in life doesn't necessarily have to point to problems, rather a need for improving upon oneself and becoming a better you. Many of our clients seek out our life coaching services for this reason alone, seeking professional and personal development guidance in order to learn how to incorporate all the opportunities and possibilities life has to offer.
Our staff are extremely knowledgeable in many areas and have been trained in multiple disciplines. We offer free consultations so that we can ensure that our services would be right for you. Contact us today at our Arlington Heights, Illinois office to see how we can help you illuminate your possibilities!

Overall, I have grown from my experiences at the Lighthouse. However, punctuality and professionalism matters. I shouldn't be paying for a session, when the licensed professional is 15 minutes late. Additionally, the licensed professional kept mentioning how he was "worried" for me, as I haven't been scheduling as many sessions due to my busy life - negating the issues that I would have liked to work on in the session. I don't mind paying for sessions if I'm receiving help. However, if I feel I'm being treated more as customer rather than a client, I'll take my needs elsewhere.

The Lighthouse was such a great stepping stone to where I am today. Although i did counseling there about 3 years ago my husband and I have learned some amazing things that we hold to this day. I would highly recommend the lighthouse for any counseling. Jean was amazing and opened my eyes to so many things I needed for MYSELF before I could pour into a marriage. My husband and I both hold strong boundaries and communicate compared to where we started. I am forever thankful for the impact you all had on our lives!

I've been seeing Ray at Lighthouse for several years now. Every time I leave I feel a little more confident stepping out of my comfort zone when tackling the stressors in my life. One thing I love about Lighthouse is that they adapt to the needs of their clientele. If there is need for a specific support group, they find a way to make it happen. They also create ways to support others at home, like their Couples Synergy podcast. I would highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for ways to work on you.

After my friend confided in me of her issues and I realized it is beyond what I could do for her, I decided to find some counseling assistance for her. I had never been to any counselor so really didn't know what to do. Finally, I found a counseling service in Arlington Heights on the internet and initially I was skeptical but my friend had nothing but great things to say about them and she seems like she is doing much better and overall improvement. So I'm glad I found Lighthouse. I just want my friend to be back to who she was.

Had a bad experience with another counselor in schaumburg and the next time I wanted to make sure the place was highly rated and ended up with Dr. Ray. Their approach to mental health and phsycology is great. If you are looking for counseling in schaumburg or for a mental health professional, I can't thank say enough good things about them.they're that good.

Professional and very personable staff. I love their frame work of helping the individual become a happy, healthy, and empowered being - allowing that to be whatever the individual sees fit. My awakening would not have been the same without Ray & Jean. My young daughter also sees Eddie regularly and she has grown through those encounters as well. I have already recommended The Lighthouse to friends & strangers alike and will continue to do so. Great team for your mental health!

I started going to Lighthouse shortly after having my baby and finding out my then husband was cheating on me. I went there wanting them to help "fix me" so that my husband would stay. But what they did for me instead has change my life completely and helped me become the person I always knew I could be. I am the strongest I've ever been and have no regrets about where this has all taken me.
The team at Lighthouse is so special and unique and I know I would not have had the same experience anywhere else. If you are sitting there wanting answers but dont even know the questions to ask then give them a call and start your own journey.one day you will look back too and be so grateful you did!

I am so grateful to be part of The Lighthouse since Sept 2009. When I first came to see Jean I was feeling very lost in my life, lost within myself as a woman, wife, and a mother. Jean has been like a bridge connecting my heart to my soul. All throughout this journey of mine at The Lighthouse she has so loving held my hand in hers and has guided me through, validating my thoughts and feeling all the way.
Without Ray, Jean, and the entire staff at The Lighthouse, I am sure I would still be a very sad and lonely woman, possibly a divorced single mother. Now I feel stronger, confident, and eager to move through this world with grace and passion. I am also happily married. Thank you Jean and Ray, from the bottom of my heart, for not only teaching me how to live my life to it’s fullest, but for teaching “US” how to dance. Sending you all love and light, always

Dr. Ray, Rev. Jean and the entire staff of The Lighthouse are truly invested in the healing and well being of all of their clients. They are caring, patient, understanding, thoughtful practitioners who view themselves as equal to all who walk through the door. These qualities make them approachable and human so that you feel as though you're visiting with friends, but better because they have the knowledge, training and experience to actually help. With their guidance, anything is possible.
