More about Aaron
- 8 years' experience
- Male
- 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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
