Aaron Carter, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Aaron!

I help you create the life you envision by breaking through obstacles holding you back. Together, we'll find realistic solutions to problems impeding your progress. I offer a safe environment where you can express yourself and make positive changes.

My focus

I work with individuals navigating ADHD, anger management, anxiety, behavioral issues, bipolar disorder, depression, family conflict, marital concerns, OCD, peer relationships, self-esteem, and trauma.

My approach

I typically use Acceptance and Commitment (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Cognitive Processing (CPT), Dialectical Behavior (DBT), Humanistic, Integrative, Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Motivational Interviewing, Reality Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief (SFBT).

My communication style

My communication style is open and adaptive. My goal is to create a supportive environment to ensure my clients feel comfortable expressing themselves.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a passion for helping people problem-solve, resolve conflicts, and navigate their journey. Helping others find solutions and validation in a world that can be difficult to thrive in has always felt natural to me.

My goals for you

I prefer a team approach to setting goals. We'll work together and break goals down into smaller parts to make them attainable and adjust where we see fit.

Our first session

You can expect a warm welcome where your questions are addressed and a safe space to discuss what led you to therapy. You'll meet with a provider who genuinely wants to help you improve your circumstances or maintain the growth you've already been working toward.
