Why are we here?
There has to be a better, more individualized, more efficient way. We intend to use it.
Nurture and Light Counseling was born out of real‑life gaps that Lacie Martinez and Nikki Turner kept seeing in Southern Kentucky—people leaving jail, treatment, or crisis units with paperwork in their hands but no real support, and families trying to hold everything together without enough guidance or hope. After years of working in recovery housing, community programs, and frontline counseling, they wanted a place where clinical excellence and lived experience could exist under one roof, without judgment and without a “one‑size‑fits‑all” approach.
They opened Nurture and Light Counseling in downtown Bowling Green as a small, intentional practice designed to walk alongside people through some of the hardest seasons of their lives—offering counseling, groups, and practical support that actually fit the realities of court, kids, recovery, housing, and work. From the beginning, their vision has been simple: create a place where people feel seen, heard, and believed in, and where healing is built one honest conversation and one next step at a time. Meeting people where they are at.
