Lighting the path to healing by making mental heath treatment more financially accessible through our innovative scholarship program!

Lit Path is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our purpose is to "light the path out of the darkness of addiction" through partial scholarships for psychotherapy with certified professionals. We help make recovery therapy more affordable for everyone. Any therapist with the appropriate certification can apply to participate in the program for free which allows them to be able to offer scholarships to their clients. Our scholarship covers $65 per session for 16 sessions to support recovery from process (gambling, food, s*x, po*******hy, shopping, etc) and/or substance addictions.

Your Question:
How do I forgive myself while still taking responsibility for my actions?

, Lexi Barruso , MEd, A-LPC/MHSP-Temp, CSAT-C says:

It’s important to acknowledge this is a big task that takes time and honoring yourself, loved ones, and recovery intentions. One practice I like is keeping a daily journal of actions done to promote healing for yourself and those affected by your addiction. For example, “Today I kept to my word by initiating our FANOS check-in and was honest about my sobriety” or “I attended a meeting/spoke with another person in recovery and shared about my urges which helped me manage my thoughts until they passed”.

Journaling like this reinforces the actions taken to take ownership of harm caused, while recognizing the efforts and actions taken each day to acknowledge what is being done differently. By taking responsibility for our actions (both harmful and healing), we are able to move towards forgiving ourselves. Begin to notice the things you’re doing right!

She's tired of living in survival mode. She wants to find peace, be present for her three daughters, and give her family a healthier future. But the cost of therapy stands in her way.

Behind every name on our waitlist is a real person with a real story. A mother working to heal from her past, break painful patterns, and become the parent she wants to be.

She's not asking someone to change her life for her. She's asking for the chance to keep doing the work

💛 Your support can make that possible.

By helping her access continued therapy, you're doing more than supporting one person's healing. You're helping a mother build healthier relationships, create a more stable home, and give her children the opportunity for a brighter future.

Your generosity can make a difference that reaches beyond one person and touches an entire family.

💛 You can change their story.

Your Question:
How do I forgive myself while still taking responsibility for my actions?

Alonso Pool CPC says:

Wow, this is a difficult one. True self-forgiveness requires taking full ownership of your actions while actively staying out of the shame spiral. It means owning the weight of your choices without letting them permanently define your identity.
For me, that requires true remorse and repentance. Repentance is more than just feeling bad; it’s a complete 180-degree turn from your old ways. As a coach, I tend to focus less on dwelling in the past and more on where you are going. You own the true cost by acknowledging the damage, but you recognize that the past version of you made that choice, while the present version of you is evaluating it. Doing that 180 means clarifying your values, deciding who you want to be, and committing to the pivot. True responsibility isn't beating yourself up forever; it is building new boundaries, habits, and accountability so that the version of you who made that mistake no longer exists.
Forgiveness happens organically when you look at your life today and realize you are actively making different choices, while still respecting the lessons of the past and remaining humble enough to remember the dangers that can pull you back.

💙 Meet Wes Davis, LPC-Associate, LCDC Intern, CSAT Candidate

Sometimes, we reach a point where the way we’ve been living no longer feels sustainable—and we know it’s time for something to change.

Wes Davis provides a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for individuals and families working through challenges that may be affecting their relationships, recovery, and quality of life.

Wes has experience working with adults, adolescents, families, couples, and groups, including individuals navigating addiction and recovery. As a CSAT Candidate, he is continuing specialized training to support individuals experiencing s*x and po*******hy addiction, love addiction, and betrayal trauma.

✨ Wes works with concerns including:
• S*x & po*******hy concerns
• Addiction & substance abuse
• Alcohol-related concerns
• Betrayal trauma & infidelity
• Anxiety & depression
• ADHD
• PTSD & trauma
• Family conflict
• Adult children of alcoholics

Wes also brings a unique professional background to his work. Before becoming a counselor, he spent 15 years working in marketing and content direction, giving him a broad perspective on the pressures and challenges that can come with career, family, and personal life.

Most importantly, Wes understands that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable. His goal is to create a space where clients can feel safe, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change.

Ask the Experts!
Your Question:
Can you address the concept of 100% trust after betrayal? Is it possible? If I don’t feel like it is, what work do I need to do?

, Jill Pool, ACC, CPC, RC says:

What do you mean by "100% trust"? If you mean implicit trust that never questions or doubts, is that really a healthy goal?

Yes, rebuilding trust is absolutely possible when both partners are in good recovery, but healthy trust looks different than it did before. Healthy trust isn't about forgetting the past or pretending that you are immune to risk.

Marsha M. Linehan talks about the difference between Clean Mind and Clear Mind. Clean Mind focuses solely on sobriety and believes it is now immune to risk. Clear Mind remembers the addiction, recognizes risks, and makes conscious choices to protect recovery. Understanding this distinction is vital for both you and your partner.

Rebuilding trust is a process where you look for consistent integrity over time. Do your partner's actions match their words? Are they able to sit with you in your pain and demonstrate empathy? Are they making choices to protect their recovery and your relationship?

An expectation of 100% trust may mistakenly convince you that you shouldn't bring up concerns or struggles. This can lead you back to a place where you stuff your feelings and ignore red flags. As a betrayed partner in recovery, you learn how to use your voice and speak up when you have concerns. That practice doesn't stop as trust returns. When something concerns you, continuing to have those hard conversations isn't a setback—it's an essential part of rebuilding trust.

Behind every name on our waitlist is a real person with a real story — someone who is ready to heal but needs support accessing the care they need.

For years, he tried to overcome his struggles on his own. Now, he’s ready to address the deeper wounds, do the work, and build a different future.

💛 A $100 monthly gift provides enough support to fund one full scholarship over the course of a year.

Your support can help turn waiting into healing.

You can change their story.

Recovery is a journey—and having people beside you who understand can make it feel less isolating.

Lit Path’s Men’s CSBD Recovery Peer Support Group creates a safe, structured online space for men working through compulsive s*xual behavior/s*x addiction recovery to connect with others on a similar path.

This isn’t therapy or group coaching. It’s a peer community where men can speak openly, learn from shared experiences, encourage one another, and build meaningful connections that support recovery.

💙 Conversations centered on recovery
💙 Carefully vetted volunteer facilitators
