Getting to know Aerin Skibinski

What if something as simple as choosing what to eat for breakfast can leave you completely stuck? You know it shouldn't be this hard. But suddenly you're questioning every option, worrying about making the wrong choice, replaying conversations from yesterday, or thinking through every possible “what if.” Maybe you're constantly overthinking. Maybe your brain won't shut off. Maybe you're checking, researching, reassurance-seeking, avoiding, or second-guessing yourself because you're terrified of getting something wrong. Or maybe you're dealing with something completely different—grief, a major life change, a difficult relationship, or a version of yourself that just doesn't feel like you anymore. You don't have to figure all of that out before reaching out for therapy. That's what we're here for. I'm Aerin, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and I believe therapy should feel like talking to a real person—not like sitting across from someone who is waiting to tell you what you're doing wrong. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, collaborative, and personalized. I work primarily with adolescents and young adults experiencing anxiety, OCD, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and substance use. I especially enjoy working with people who feel stuck in their heads, put a lot of pressure on themselves, struggle with perfectionism, or feel like everyone else seems to have life figured out while they’re just trying to keep up. I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach and draw from evidence-based therapies based on your individual needs. This may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD and anxiety, Person-Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Gestalt approaches, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Activation, and trauma-focused approaches.
