Aaron Hubbard

As a counselor, I am driven by the foundational belief that everyone is capable of profound growth and change. I was drawn to this field by my desire to help others and interest in the complexities that make us human. There is nothing I find more rewarding than helping clients become the person they want to be. I have a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and Entrepreneurship from University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill I, followed by a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Western Carolina. I spent my younger adult years traveling the world and then running my own small business. I utilize this lived experience to help clients integrate what we work on in session into the real world. In my personal time, I enjoy music, fly fishing, sports and getting frustrated working on my house.

I work from a person-centered perspective that draws on different evidence based modalities to best fit your unique goals, challenges and identity, these include internal family systems (IFS), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). For trauma specific work, I utilize EDMR and IFS. Therapy is a time in the week carved out just for you. It is work, but it is an investment in yourself. We will work together to tailor this time to your needs, whether that is healing from the past, finding meaning in the present, or navigating toward your desired future.

The first session is an introduction to each other, the basics of the therapy process and how I work. You should expect a focus on what brings you to therapy and how I can help in this process. I will begin to get to know who you are, your experience in the world, and what is important to you (values, beliefs, hopes and dreams). Through this process we will explore and collaborate to design a therapeutic approach that best fits you.
