Dr. Aaron Banas

I view therapy as a framework to address life's problems. When difficulties are put into context, and a deeper understanding of problems are gained, they lose their power and problems are replaced with more flexible and adaptive ways of being. To help achieve this, I take a whole-person approach. Based upon needs, this may look like a more behaviorally-driven intervention to change problematic behaviors, or digging deeper to find meaning in one's style of relating to others.

I take a collaborative, client-centered approach. Some respond better to more structured interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, while others respond better to an insight-driven approach. I am comfortable with either approach and will collaborate with you to choose which makes the most sense.

In working with me, you can expect to be empowered to have a greater understanding of your difficulties and to develop a blueprint for change.
