Our Mission
Heartlight...A residential counseling center for struggling teens that offers help and hope to parents and teens in a broken world.
Our property
The Heartlight facility is second to none, nestled deep in the piney woods of East Texas near Longview 3 hours east of Dallas.
"Every single aspect of Heartlight - the grounds, programming, parent and family events, staff, educatsion provisions, and resources for parents - is professionally and compassionately offered. We are grateful to God and His ministry offered through Mark and the staff at Heatlight."
Our Staff
A relational atmosphere that creates an arena for change is made possible only because of the dedication and commitment of the staff that are involved in the lives of teens.
"Our heavy hearts are now filled with joy as we witness the incredible staff pour their hearts into our daughter while she develops great relationships with many of the other residents at Heartlight."
Our Counselors
Individual and group therapy by Heartlight's Master Level Counselors who work with both the teens and parents throughout their stay; ensuring a holistic approach that results in smoother and more successful transitions home.
"What makes this place really special is the tremendous amount of support and love that you feel in all the people here. It's in the faces of the young people who live with the kids. It's in the faces of the counselors, the administrators - they're all a part of this. It's a huge family and they do much to make you feel welcome into it as well."
Our Program
Programmed activities that bring a smile back to a teen's face - rich in activity, utilizing horses, boating, exercise, rappelling, and planned events that engage residents with one another and build self-confidence.
"Heartlight gave us the chance to make some changes in our own lives and hearts that has brought a lot of healing to our family, our life, and our marriage."
