Extending Hope – Building Strength – Finding Solutions
Online Resource Library - What It Can Do For You.
Welcome to Morning Light Counseling.org! This online mental health resource library, created byCarrie Maxwell Wrigley, LCSW, contains information designed to help you help you find effective, practical solutions to problems such as depression, anxiety, pornography addiction, and marital conflict. It is also designed to point you to resources that can create more resilience, wellness, and joy in life. This online resource library can function for you in several different ways:
Outlines the difference between "Symptom-Centered Treatment" and "Christ-Centered Healing." Reviews stages of healing; effective and ineffective strategies for depression recovery; and use of "The Diamond Model" as a guide for an integrative healing process. Also see source articles from LDS leaders referenced in the talk.

One of our major objectives for this site is to identify quality resources to help you and your loved ones to resolve emotional and relationship challenges. In service of this goal, we have created 2 resources to help identify books we regard as the most helpful, on a variety of therapeutic topics:
At Morning Light Counseling, a sizable majority of our counseling clients are LDS. Often, the issues these clients struggle with contain a spiritual component, which accurate, helpful information can help resolve, as part of their healing process.
Also, many of our public presentations and programs are for LDS audiences. It is anticipated that many visitors to this site will therefore be LDS, and will have specific interest in an LDS view of the various issues discussed in this online library. However, some site visitors may not be LDS, and might prefer to focus on the more general, non-LDS content.
To assist both both LDS and non-LDS visitors, we have tagged all LDS-specific content with the "LDS icon" seen on the top left of this page.
