Getting to know Aaron Carrillo

Hi there, I'm Aaron! I am Aaron Carrillo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in San Diego. I speak English and Spanish. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from San Diego State University and my Bachelor’s from California State University San Marcos. My approach to therapy is simple—to provide exceptional care and unconditional support; to help you feel heard, seen, and understood after our session; and to instill hope and empowerment through mutual trust and genuine connection. My approach One of my main goals is to provide exceptional care through a genuine connection built on trust and safety. I offer a compassionate and empowering approach to mental health that focuses on your potential for growth by creating a supportive environment where you can explore your experiences, fears, and doubts, develop insights, and achieve your goals. I integrate interventions from cognitive and dialectical behavior approaches to build resilience, empowerment, and hope. My focus I have a personal and professional interest in helping adolescents, young adults transitioning into college, and adults become resilient through experiences with depression, anxiety, stress, and grief. My communication style The tone and environment in the session can be described as unconditional support and validation—a place where you’ll feel heard, seen, and understood without judgment and in safety. My journey to mental healthcare I am fascinated by how the human brain works and intrigued by understanding human connections and behavior. I understand how mental health is impacted by culture, family of origin, environment, and social and political climate, yet too often mental health is individualized as a “you problem.” I’m here to change that narrative..
