Getting to know Aaron Dorfman

I am a licensed therapist with extensive experience helping adults find solutions to their emotional needs, overcome grief and loss, manage life transitions, and to discover what a life worth living looks like. I specialize in helping adults ages 18–65 who feel anxious, lost, stressed, are unsure about the future, worried about the world around them, struggle in relationships, and are experiencing burn out, whether in friendships, work, family, or other parts of the human experience. My mindfulness-based, solution-focused approach, helps clients to build the skills and tools they need to overcome challenges and find purpose in conquering hardships. While many clients come to me feeling stuck and overwhelmed, but they leave with greater confidence, resilience, and the ability to solve problems independently, even after therapy.

What should a new client know about working with you?

When working with me, you will experience a nonjudgmental and collaborative environment focused on learning and growth. Therapy with me will progress at a pace you are comfortable with, and together, we will develop a treatment plan with goals, objectives, and clinical interventions that are relevant to your lived experiences. My style allows us to create a safe, trusting space where we can work together to increase your self-esteem and problem-solving skills. While I specialize in CBT, DBT, ACT, Solution Focused, and Mindfulness therapeutic approaches, I use various interventions from these modalities with clients, to ensure that each client is provided individual support that meet's their needs. I do not take a one size fit's all approach, as I recognize that each person's lived experiences and challenges require support that is tailored to them. I regularly participate in continuing education courses to stay current with evidence-based practices that effectively support clients dealing with anxiety and stress-related challenges. By staying informed about advancements in therapy, I ensure my clients receive the highest quality care. My passion for learning about the human condition helps me provide tailored support to clients from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances.
