About Aaron
I love being a therapist & am grateful to be a part of the KC community of helpers! I believe in leaning into our strengths and cultivating ‘good enough’ mindset in deficit areas. We are not meant to live in our struggles - we are more than them.

Brittany Purrington, CIT
Expressive Arts Therapist
Do others tell you that you’re too sensitive? Do you doubt or second-guess yourself? Maybe you’re not even sure of who you are because you’ve let others tell you who to be, what to do and what was right. You just want to feel seen, heard, and valued for who you are. Your story and your voice matters. Whether you are going through a life transition, have experienced relational/attachment trauma, or want to increase your feelings of self-worth, I can help you build the confidence to move forward in joy and empowerment.

Aaron intentionally dedicates his career to walk alongside clients in their therapeutic journey. His approach is intricately woven with heartfelt validation, integrity, levity, and an evolving curiosity of the human experience. You've found an advocate!
Counselor, MA, LMHCA, LPC, CIT
As his supervisee, I often leave conversations with Aaron feeling inspired and motivated. He accepts what is, brings much needed humor to the conversation, and encourages & is curious about possibilities. I highly recommend working with Aaron!
Christin Trott - Être Counseling Kc
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS, PLPC
Aaron has been a long-time colleague and supervisor. He is a great listener and a wonderful balance of encouraging, compassionate, insightful, and fun. I would definitely recommend Aaron as a therapist and supervisor!
Counselor, MA, LPC, RPT-S, NCC
Aaron is a fantastic clinician. I supervised him for many years when he was starting his career as a counselor. He is very knowledgeable, down to earth, and has a wealth of experience. He is very easy to talk to.
Aaron is knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, approachable, and warm. Clients can rest assured knowing that they are in good hands and on the right path with Aaron.
Aaron was my supervisor and I couldn't recommend him enough! I have ADHD and so it's hard for me to sit still, ESPECIALLY after I've been sitting all day for work. So for our sessions, we went for walks outside which was amazing for me! I definitely miss it now that I'm done with supervision. He's warm, supportive, and always willing to help! Highly recommend! -Karrah Wood, LPC & Owner of Wildflower Psychological Services
Supportive, empathic, insightful, highly knowledgeable, and fosters all the right conditions for growth. 10/10 recommend!
Katie Kalahurka Burnett, LPC & Owner of Limelight Counseling
I am a counselor in the KC metro area, and while I have not been a client of Aaron's for therapy he was my supervisor as I pursued my license to practice. In this aspect he was helpful in my growth as a counselor and practitioner. I would expect that he would be a good individual therapist for any concerns that you may be facing. He has a good understanding of trauma work and techniques as well as an extensive and diverse background in counseling.
