My name is Aaron Chapman and doing therapy is my calling in life. I knew I wanted to be a therapist since I was a teenager, and it is a very fulfilling part of my life. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience providing therapy for individuals, couples, and families, and I have provided services for a wide range of clients in a variety of settings, including schools, agencies, clinics, and private practice.
I utilize elements of solution-oriented, person-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive therapies.
I believe that all people have the inherent tools and strengths to overcome their difficulties and lead more fulfilling lives. I also believe that small changes in a person’s life can lead to big differences in the future. At the same time, I think there can be great value in achieving insight into our problems and gaining an understanding of why we do the things we do.
I believe therapy should be a safe place where a person can explore and bring forth their fears, desires, strengths, and weaknesses. In my practice I strive to foster this process. I believe a good therapist is personable, warm, supportive, and non-judgmental. In this environment the client comes to know and accept who they are, and they can then face life’s challenges with more courage and inner peace.
