“I've been on the fence about my drinking for years. My depression has gotten much worse over time, and my doctor said I need to quit alcohol right now or things are going to get worse for my body really fast. Aaron helped me figure out what I needed to do. He is super experienced, and offers alot of insightful feedback. Most importantly, he was accepting of me at a time when most people in my life weren't. Recommend x100.”

Getting to know Aaron Rohrer
Are you or a loved one struggling with issues related to anxiety, substance use, trauma, or other major life changes? Join me on a journey to help bring new direction to your life. Together, we can work to build new coping skills and find a path forward. I provide a highly personalized and holistic approach that integrates multiple therapeutic methods. I'd love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
Working with clients for over 17 years, I have provided psychological services in the San Francisco Bay Area as a clinician and supervisor at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation Stonewall Project and as a counselor in a dual diagnosis mental health treatment program in San Francisco. I have extensive experience supporting adults and adolescents with acute mental health or substance use issues, older adults, adults living with chronic health conditions or HIV, and gay/bi-identifying men.
My specialties include acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, substance use counseling, harm reduction psychotherapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and motivational interviewing.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, East Bay, and a Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You are welcome to come just as you are to our sessions - if you are not someone who likes to talk a lot or feels in pressured in these type of one on one situations, not to worry - I am here to facilitate and make the session a comfortable place for you. I will ask a variety of questions in order to help us find direction in our sessions, and offer a variety of counselor facilitated exercises as needed to make these sessions a valuable use of your time.
Note: Please read the coverage / payment information before booking a session.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session will focus on getting to know each other - the therapuetic relationship is a vital part of the success of the therapy. As we get to know each other, we will work to clarify goals for treatment together, and explore potential interventions that may work well for you. Each client I work with is treated as an individual, and my goal is to meet you where you are at, and support you on your journey.
Aaron Rohrer, LCSW is not in-network with any insurances
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $125 for 50 minutes
Ongoing session: $150-250 for 50 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
More information on payments and coverage
- I require upfront payment for all initial intake sessions, at the minimum rate of $125. This covers the charge for the time spent on the session. In the intake forms, there is a credit card authorization form, please complete this before the session. If you have completed Thrizer intake and are approved for coverage, this will coverage will apply instead of the minimum rate.
-Typically, my clients have some kind of insurance coverage, and the services are covered through out-of-network coverage, with a copay. This copay rate can vary based off insurance plan. I use a third party provider, Thrizer, to facilitate payment. Once the appointment is made, I will refer you to them to put in insurance / payment info. Please plan to complete this before the first session.
- Out of pocket rate: 175$ to 250$ for a 50 minute session.
- I am a California licensed clinician, so I am restricted to providing therapy through various insurers to only California residents. I can provided out of pocket based life coaching to out of state residents.

I've seen a few therapists over the years - I am lucky to have finally found Aaron. I have made alot of progress since I've started seeing him. He has helped me learn skills to cope with anxiety, depression, and finally get a hold over my substance abuse. He uses a variety of techniques in his therapy and seems to stay very well informed. I've recommended a few friends to him over the years.

Aaron helped my husband move forward with his life - trauma and alcohol use aren't affecting him like they used to. Our family is forever grateful!

Aaron's approach is relaxed and laid back while still being present and intentional. I've found a great deal of comfort with him as he has helped me navigate some extremely tough times recently.

Aaron Rohrer is an excellent therapist. He’s on time, actively listens, and is incredibly supportive. Aaron is well versed in ACT. He has given exercises and homework to help work toward goals. Aaron is very professional, and is also as flexible as he can be with scheduling. He is a family man and can relate to the trials and tribulations associated with marriage and raising children. I would definitely recommend Aaron Rohrer as a therapist.
