About Aimee Whisler

Pour a cup of coffee, relax, and plan to begin the next best season of your life. You may be wondering whether this is the part where someone tells you that life is a journey, communication is important, and you should remember to breathe. All true, of course—but therapy should also feel genuine, practical, and human. Life can be messy. Relationships can become strained, anxiety can feel exhausting, and painful experiences can leave people feeling disconnected from themselves or from those they love. Aimee believes that even during difficult seasons, healing is possible and hope is never out of reach.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, Aimee works with individuals, couples, and families experiencing relationship distress, communication difficulties, anxiety, anger, family conflict, attachment concerns, and emotional disconnection. She has a particular passion for helping couples move beyond repetitive conflict, rebuild trust, deepen emotional intimacy, and develop healthier patterns of communication and connection.

Aimee draws from Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and family systems approaches. She recognizes the individuality of each person, so there is no one-size-fits-all when you meet with her. Her work may include helping clients recognize unhealthy interaction cycles, understand the emotions and needs beneath conflict, improve emotional regulation, replace criticism and defensiveness with healthier communication, and develop practical skills that can be used outside of the therapy room.

When working with families, Aimee helps parents, children, adolescents, and adult family members better understand one another, establish appropriate boundaries, repair strained relationships, and create healthier patterns within the family system. She also enjoys helping individuals understand how past experiences, attachment patterns, beliefs, and relationships may be influencing their present lives.

Aimee’s approach is warm, collaborative, honest, and encouraging. She believes meaningful growth happens when people feel safe enough to speak openly, supported enough to examine difficult patterns, and appropriately challenged to make lasting changes. Therapy with Aimee is compassionate and purposeful, but it is not always solemn. There is room for laughter, personality, and those moments when everyone has to admit, “Well, that did not go quite as planned.”

Aimee strives to honor each client’s unique story while helping them develop greater clarity, confidence, resilience, and connection. One of her greatest joys is helping clients recognize that they are not defined by their past, their mistakes, or their current struggles. She considers it a privilege to walk alongside people as they heal, strengthen their relationships, and build more peaceful and hopeful lives. For clients who desire it, Aimee also offers faith-integrated counseling that thoughtfully incorporates Christian beliefs, values, prayer, or Scripture into the therapeutic process.
