More about Aaron

- LCSW
My name is Aaron (he/him). I am a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with over a decade of professional work experience in the health and mental health space. My deep passion is to bring hope to individuals on their journey to rediscovering themselves. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, aging issues, LGBTQIA2S+ related issues, coping with grief and loss, and issues around motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
My approach in the therapy space is to be curious and open. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Somatic Therapy, and love to integrate nature-based interventions (eco-therapy) into my work. In addition, I am a registered yoga teacher and work to incorporate concepts of mind/body connection and breathwork into our sessions to increase awareness of arousal and self-regulation.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started. I look forward to partnering on this journey with you!
Please note that I am currently only doing therapy on Monday and Wednesday.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
