Getting to know Aries McGinnis
I work with people to help them see their own greatness noting that their behaviors do not define them. The behavior is unhealthy, not the person. Who a person is at the core is always great, healthy, and beautiful. As we pull apart maladaptive behaviors from the individual, I help people become actively engaged in their own therapeutic process beginning a journey of healing and growth.
With formal training in EMDR, I have a focus in trauma, anxiety, depression, and inter-personal relationships. By using various modalities, I am able to help the client find the best modality for them. We work through current concerns while also exploring deeper connected layers of trauma, depression, and anxiety.
In my experience working with clients, anxiety often emerges as a core issue. Therapy involves sharing some of your deepest feelings, thoughts, and concerns, which understandably can create anxiety. When reaching out to a therapist, you want someone who understands this and helps you feel safe to share.
I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Immaculata University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support clients effectively.
Personally, I love the mountains and the outdoors. Skiing, rafting, canyoneering, kayaking, and hiking are some of my passions. I have also enjoyed adventurous activities such as hang gliding, skydiving, and bungee jumping. I grew up outside of Philadelphia and remain close to my roots, heading home multiple times a year to see family and friends. I spent a decade in Utah working with teens and families before moving further north. I now enjoy living in the wild state of Alaska.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Learn their story from their viewpoint working to avoid making any assumptions. Each person's story is unique and the more you can learn about the individual, the more you can find the best method and process to help them heal and grow.

Aries is amazing. He helps me navigate relationship situations that stress me out. He has taught me a model that makes me confident during difficult conflicts with my family. EMDR has been really helpful as well. Aries helps me to be a better and more accountable version of myself.

Aries is great. He's relatable and affable, which was instantly helpful as someone who hasn't participated in any therapy since he was a child. Aries had helpful tools and explained them simply, and they've benefitted me greatly.

Aries was very easy to speak with. Numerous times I would want to discuss something different than was planned. Aries was great with changing the plan as needed.

Aries was very personable and relatable to our couples' issues. While he admitted to working with families mostly, he explained how his experience and teachings would relate to couples as well. He would share personal experiences as they would relate to the issues we were discussing which was helpful. My significant other and I continue to use what we learned from our sessions with Aries.
