"Nothing can dim the light that shines
from within." - Maya Angelou

We believe in the strength that we have within ourselves and we
believe that we all have our own answers within, we will help to
illuminate the way. In the beautiful words of Carlie Marie, “You are a
beautiful bright light in this world, do not be afraid to shine because
humanity needs your love. When you embrace your authentic self,
you can truly spread your wings. When you honor the light within
your heart, you inspire others to find the light within themselves.
Make a conscious effort to bring love and light into those around you
and be witness to your own healing power.”

OUR STORY

ANGELA VARGAS-AVENDAÑO,
LMSW-CLINICAL

We are Jen and Angela, and in 2017, we co-founded Illuminate Counseling & Wellness in Newaygo
with the dream of building our own private practices. Our philosophy centers on providing
compassionate, client-focused care, and we are thankful for the opportunity to support mental
health and wellness in our community. Since starting, the demand for our services has surpassed
what we could handle alone. As we expanded, we welcomed empathetic, attentive clinicians who
share our passion for client care to join us on this journey.
