IMPORTANT: P-L-E-A-S-E MAKE V-E-R-Y SURE that whenever you meet this so-called "therapist" for a-n-y reason, the recording is done and obtainable when requested a-n-y-t-i-m-e in the future. You might certainly need it.. since this person cannot handle the truth and does not have any honesty to accept the things that you will say about him. I will check here periodically for this extremely aggressive/ incompetent/ overconfident so-called "therapist" from NEW GROWTH COUNSELING.. Jussi Light ..(who is the owner of this company, I believe). Reason: If anybody wants to file a lawsuit against this narcissist/racist person, they can indicate it in their google review & I will CERTAINLY help them by testifying at court (or wherever needed) telling my traumatizing experiences with this person...of course after making sure that such a lawsuit was in fact filed or will be filed. Please write/indicate some kind of info. about yourself in your review so I can EASILY reach you & support you in your confrontation/lawsuit against this RACIST so-called therapist. ------- I would have given endless below zero rating to Jussi Light if Google had allowed me. I have no idea who wrote the good google reviews for Jussi Light, but they CERTAINLY do NOT reflect the REAL him. Those reviews must be written by Jussi Light himself/people he hired/family members/people whom he favored (ie: after reading my review, you can figure out who he would favor). By far, I had the MOST traumatizing experience of my entire life with Jussi Light. He caused immense/unrepairable drama in my relationship with my child. He is BY FAR the most unethical/money hungry/RACIST..most likely sexist too but his being RACIST is 100+% for sure.., most evil-hearted/unprofessional/narcissist, most sickly/illegally/illogically/very obnoxiously intrusive to the privacy of the person. Without any context/reason...but just because of his intense desire to harass & traumatize the client, he will speculate things about the adult client's very private life (in front of the client's child!!)...such as the client's sexual life when the client was just a child or teenager...without knowing A THING about the topic & without A-N-Y context. He's by far the most ignorant person in psychology. During the entire "therapy" Jussi Light insulted my parenthood/my intelligence/my EVERYTHING & openly encouraged my child not to see me AT ALL. I am the best parent/one of the best parents in the world & I had devoted my whole life to my child but I lost my child permanently because of Jussi Light's creating INTENSE animosity in my child towards me in a V-E-R-Y short time. Things that this man did to me&my child were beyond nauseating!! I had severe rashes/nervous breakdowns after seeing this incompetent "therapist." Also: He started the therapy session 30+ mns late on purpose..because he's sick/control freak ..although I had told him countless times long time in advance that he needed to start on time & he had acknowledged that to me in several ways. He finished 30 mns late too. I was not able to work for this reason! He spent almost the ENTIRE session praising himself/talking about his son/drawing nonsense things on paper/showing his tinny diploma to me on the wall, which I can obtain easily when I'm sipping my tea in balcony. I have several diplomas with higher degrees..and yes from the USA. He yelled at me/insulted me/threatened me & a lot more the whole time..in front of my child. Caution: Their website is corrupted; they will overcharge you or try really hard to overcharge/fool you by saying "sorry, our website has glitches" baloney. Reality: Jussi L. knows how bad he's at his job so he is OBSESSED with money issue. He won't let you leave without making sure that he charged you! He's scared that you won't pay him or you'll ask your money back ...AND I DO ENCOURAGE you to do that..and immediately. Again write/indicate some info. here about yourself&I'll help you. Show this review to your financial company, too. I can write a book about this very unprofessional/incompetent/RACIST man. Pls take this review seriously; STAY AWAY FROM him!! He needs to be locked up in mental hospital forever. No therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist etc can help this so-called therapist. He must be BANNED from doing ANY job that involves human beings (especially children&young people)... even animals. I WOULDN'T trust this man with ANYTHING..even with machines. read more

Jussi Light has truly been a miracle worker regarding my family. Though my husband has always referred to therapists as "quacks", he's now Jussi's biggest enthusiast! My wheelchair bound son, understandably angry regarding his health issues, has not only come to terms with his challenges, but has become a high functioning adult with a successful job in San Francisco, one of the least disability friendly in America! He faces new challenges with a positive attitude and an "I can do anything" outlook on life and an everlasting smile on his face, life of the party mentality and his favorite quote is Carpe Diem! Additionally, my new husband, who never ever wanted kids, especially meeting them during their teenage years.....Jussi has guided him to be a loving, generous step father, proud of his sons accomplishments. He helped my sons thru a difficult divorce, health issues and teenage years. He has actually become my sons' mentors. My now adult sons go to their Step Dad instead of me. They value and respect his opinions and treat me with the respect I deserve!! We actually just received a Thank You letter from one of my sons! A complete 180 degree turn from the anger and disrespect we had received for many years. Because of Jussi's approachable personality, something difficult to find with all therapists, his guidance and insight, both my sons and husband have grown to respect AND IMPLEMENT his step by step advice. The first thing Jussi will tell his new patient is that "he wants to work his way OUT OF A JOB! Amazingly, he's done that for ALL OF US. My only regret is that I don't get to see him anymore! I cannot recommend Jussi Light highly enough. He literally saved my family and no price, no thanks, could ever be enough. read more

Jussi has an incredible gift to help people. He certainly provided my wife and I tremendous breakthrough. Each time we left his office we discovered something new not only in our marriage, but in ourselves. The healing that has taken place in our marriage and personally has changed my life. I have recommended Jussi to more than 20 people and will continue to do so. He is a blessing! read more

Jussi was very knowledgeable and immediately makes you feel comfortable to work with him. I was very impressed with his approach to understanding and working with the family. read more
