Why I Created Pursuit of Light

Shiniqua Harris, LCSW

Therapist & Founder

“I see this woman every day.”

I see the woman whose faith is foundational, but whose well-being has somehow become optional. She shows up for her family, her work, her relationships, her church, and everyone who depends on her—but has a hard time fully showing up for herself.

And she's easy to miss. Not because no one cares, but because the weight she carries is invisible to the naked eye—and she's learned how to carry it well.

I know this woman because I work with her. I have witnessed what can happen when she continues to be missed. And I know her because I have been her.

Long before a crisis, there can be smaller, quieter losses—the loss of peace, joy, connection, presence, hope, or pieces of who we are.

That's why I created Pursuit of Light: a space where you don't have to perform wellness. A place to be seen, be honest about what's happening beneath the functioning, and begin moving toward healing and wholeness.

Her experience helped shape Pursuit of Light: a place where people can be seen beyond what they manage to keep doing, and where their inner lives receive care, too.

Our team welcomes individuals, adolescents, and couples. Faith can be part of that care when desired.

OUR CENTRAL BELIEF

Functioning isn’t the same as being well.
