New Growth Counseling

"Jussi Light’s “conjoint therapy” deeply traumatized my son. The only thing he accomplished in his sessions was giving my son nightmares of Jussi Light committing murder in his office. Light’s aggressive style was not based on a real understanding of the complexity of the issues, but a reliance on his very limited scope of knowledge and misguided confidence. He did much harm. One thing Jussi Light never fails to do, though, is to mention about money in his sessions. I had to repeatedly remind him the inappropriateness of this kind of conversation in front of a minor. He just couldn’t help it. Aggressively incompetent and overconfident - quite a combination."

"Jussi Light's intuitiveness, intelligence, and excellent listening and communication skills are just a few of the traits that make him an effective counselor. In the time that I met with Jussi, he challenged my thought patterns and ways of being in the world that were no longer working for me, and he supported me as I stretched outside my comfort zone. Without exception, at the end of every session, I left feeling heard, understood and empowered to make choices that were more in line with my true self. Jussi's goal is to basically work himself out of job, not to keep someone in a dependent state. I highly recommend his counseling services. The skills you will learn from him will last a lifetime!"

"I think that Jussi has a unique position to offer with a very warm, comforting environment. Jussi was enlightening and supportive but not overt in opinion. He was very easy to talk to and able to provide guidance in a very "human" way. I really enjoyed my time with him and would strongly recommend him to my friends and clients."

"My two teenage daughters and I employed the services of Jussi Light during 2012 following the death of my husband/their father. Jussi was always wonderful and understanding and patient with my girls (and me!). Even when my older daughter stubbornly refused to talk about certain things, Jussi was patient with her. He is very family/relationship-oriented in his approach, and that showed in his interactions with us. He was wonderful at helping us think about things in a new way, and always stressed the importance of the relationships between the girls and me and between the two girls themselves. Jussi is a warm and engaging and kind man, has children and a wife himself, and I really liked working with him. I highly recommend him as a therapist for individuals, kids/adolescents, families, and couples."

"Jussi Light at New Growth has been a terrific help for me in dealing with some of life's difficult issues. I think we all have these at times and it is very helpful to work through them with someone as effective as Jussi. I have found him to be an outstanding listener, very patient and extremely insightful. Jussi is very quick to identify one's issues, help you to understand them and then provides tangible solutions. He's just great and collecting all the pieces of one's life and putting the puzzle together for you to see. All with a calm, professional demeanor that would make both children and adults comfortable in working with him. If you want to work on some things I strongly recommend meeting with him to explore the possibilities. I'll bet you'll be as comfortable and confident in him as I am."
