My name is Marie Palmer. While pursuing my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Lakeland University, I’m gaining clinical experience at Lighthouse Counseling Services. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of Georgia and spent over 15 years as an elementary school teacher before entering the counseling field. I’m a member of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and committed to providing ethical and compassionate care.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain, and challenges related to school or relationships. My approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, with a strong focus on attachment and emotional safety. I believe healing begins in a space where you feel seen, respected, and truly understood.

It takes courage to seek support, and I am honored to walk alongside my clients as they navigate life’s challenges. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for a change, I invite you to get in touch. Taking that first step is brave, and I would be honored to support you through whatever life brings.
