Our Mission

Healing & Wellness for Mind, Body, and Soul

Shine the Light Healing & Wellness has such a meaningful and thoughtful foundation, both in its holistic approach and in its name. Its origin story is dedicated to the memory of our co-founder’s dear friend, Jenna Deveines, who lost her battle with mental illness in 2018. Jenna’s memory lives on through the creation of a safe, welcoming space for those in need, which reflects the values of love, support, and understanding that were important to her. The connection to the song , “Shine the Light" , by Sugarland adds a deeply personal and symbolic layer to our values. The song’s focus on mental health and those struggling with emotional and physical well-being perfectly reflects our mission to support clients in their healing journey.

Our co-founders, Alycia Bedrosian Hatch and Jessica Reis-Driscoll, offer a dynamic and integrated holistic approach to healing, with their combined expertise and passion for high quality standards of practice.

By combining traditional psychotherapy, psychiatric nursing services, and alternative holistic treatments, events, and workshops, Shine the Light offers a diverse array of services that empower clients to embark on their personal health and wellness journeys. This holistic approach, alongside a focus on positive, transformative choices, truly nurtures both the emotional and physical aspects of healing. We seek to guide and empower individuals not only toward recovery, but toward long-lasting growth and self-empowerment.
