AARON KARMIN
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor and earned my master’s degree from Roosevelt University, Chicago, IL. I specialize in mood disorders, anger management and relationship counseling, offering tailored therapeutic solutions to individuals and couples grappling with emotional challenges.
I am a certified clinical hypnotherapist, a Gottman Seven Principles Program Educator, and hold an advanced certification in stress management from Roosevelt University. My career has seen me working across diverse settings – from inpatient to outpatient facilities, private practice to community-based centers, and from not-for-profit organizations to Fortune 500 companies. This range of experience has equipped me with a unique understanding of different emotional and psychological landscapes.
My therapy sessions are dynamic and engaging. As an active therapist, I delve deep into the issues at hand by asking thought-provoking questions and providing consistent feedback. This approach helps in steering the session effectively to address the core concerns of my clients. I adopt an integrative therapy style, blending various approaches to best suit the individual needs of each client or couple.
Central to my practice is the belief that therapy is a transformative tool that effectively assists individuals and couples in overcoming emotional barriers. In my sessions, we work on identifying physical cues, recognizing thought patterns, contemplating consequences, implementing pragmatic solutions, choosing healthier behaviors, and fostering expressive communication.
I am proud to be a BIPOC-affirming, anti-racist, and LGBTQ+ inclusive therapist. I strive to create a safe space where your unique narrative and intersectional identity are acknowledged and respected. My approach is not just about addressing the mind but also the body, recognizing the need for flexibility and creativity in therapeutic techniques.
I am dedicated to guiding my clients through their emotional journeys. Whether it’s navigating through the complexities of intimate relationships, overcoming personal struggles, managing anger, or simply seeking a path to a healthier, more confident self, I am here to facilitate that journey with empathy and expertise.
