Aimee Lighty
I am a licensed professional counselor with 22 years of experience across a wide range of domains - career, education, mental health, relationship/family work. I have a particular passion for helping clients to manage stress, depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms that negatively impact their functioning in their relationships or careers. My style is warm, supportive, and light-hearted in general, but I can be intense and emotive when helping clients process through negative experiences and feelings. I don't believe in telling clients what to do, but I do believe in collaboratively exploring problems and designing solutions together rather than spending valuable time talking about things but not doing anything about them. Your time is precious to me, so I strive to ensure that our time together is productive and helpful. The primary modalities I use are cognitive behavior therapy, but I pull from structural and strategic family therapy concepts and techniques to help improve client relationships as well.

Milena Rossius
I offer The Integrated Care Model and treat the client through the lens “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” I believe that in order to give clients the best chance at a lifelong recovery, substance use, binge eating or other unhealthy behaviors cannot be the sole treatment component. The substance(s) they are using are only a behavior, not who they are as a person. For complete wellness, we must address the deeper issues that lead the person to misuse substances, binge eat or engage in other unhealthy behaviors. As part of the Integrated Care Model, I offer to my clients Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Mind Body Spirit therapies.
