About Me

Thank you for checking out my website and considering Leighton’s Light PLLC for your therapy needs. My name is Sheri Leighton and I would love to work with you.

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Family Studies from Western Michigan University in 2001, and my Master’s Degree in Social Work from The University of Michigan in 2005. I am Licensed as a Clinical Social Worker by the State of Michigan.   

My work experience:

  • I have worked with children, teens, adults, individuals and families in a therapeutic outpatient setting, working on various issues, including addiction, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, stress, parenting, school issues, anger issues, career/work related issues, relationship issues, communication issues, etc.
  • I have spent eleven years, working in male prison settings, doing both individual and group therapy with prisoners.  I have worked as a Residential Substance Abuse Counselor, Qualified Mental Health Professional, and a Medical Social Worker in the prison. I have provided therapy to both low and high security inmates with some of the most traumatic life stories. 
  • I have worked with probationers and parolees in a clinical outpatient setting, providing individual and group therapy.
  • I have worked with the elderly population in nursing home settings, providing therapy for the elderly and their families dealing with mood disorders, behavior changes, dementia, hospice care, and life stressors. 

Leighton’s Light PLLC was established after my husband passed away and I started re-evaluating life and my own life purpose. Leighton’s Light PLLC is a part of my own healing journey to fulfillment and happiness. As I follow my passion to be the best me, my goal is to help others in the process. 

“You’re not a victim for sharing your story. You are a survivor setting the world on fire with your truth. And you never know who needs your LIGHT, your warmth, and raging courage.” Alex Elle

My Theme

You will notice sunrises throughout my website. To me, sunrises represent a fresh start to a new day, each and everyday. 

Sunrises emerge from the darkness and are beautiful. I know life can get dark but there is always light to follow. I know life isn’t fair, but you can still have a beautiful life. 

You have a choice with each sunrise about how you will choose to live your life and how you will choose to heal. 

Ultimately life happens, but you don’t have to face your struggles alone, call Leighton’s Light PLLC TODAY!
