Every human being has a different set of beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors that are both instilled in them after birth and what is learned personally through experiences or interactions with others. It's fairly easy to "just go through the motions in life" or do as one is told without ever really considering why do I believe what I believe? Or do I want to continue believing what I was told? Lives can be enriched or devastated by traditions, culture, and beliefs, but it's essential to understand one's place in them. Individuals can become lost within the expectations or roles that are placed on them by others.

Seasons change and people change. Regardless of age, gender, and status, we all encounter challenges and difficulties throughout different stages in life. I help clients re-discover who they are, reclaim their lives, rebuild relationships that are meaningful to them, restore balance and satisfaction in life, reach insight and problem solve, or get to where they want to be. You determine the nature and amount of change you wish to make. I believe that helping people recognize and hone in their strengths can create new possibilities for action and new directions in life.

I am currently working towards obtaining my LMFT. I have worked as a youth and family minister for 30 years, doing pastoral counseling with couples, teens, and families. Over those years, I have helped families and individuals deal with grief, addiction, relationships, failure to launch, goal setting, self-worth, and sexual issues. Through the years I have found that individuals cannot truly love, or be loved, if they do not value themselves. Once you value yourself you can truly connect with others. Therefore, we must start with the individual.

As a helper, my work with clients is guided by the core belief of connection. 1) Connecting the past to the present to gain insight into our struggles, 2) Connecting meaning to our experiences and 3) Connecting with a safe and trusted person to provide support and guidance in our path to healing. My ideal client would be those that are of like mind and interested in connecting in a therapeutic relationship that is driven by the client's individual needs and life experiences.

Hello! I'm Aaron Hunt. What are your roots planted in (your past, family and other important relationships, trauma, addictions, habits and other patterns)? Your roots direct where your energy and attention flows. Where is your attention focusing energy in your life? Are you creating the life you want with open-handed acceptance or is your energy being spent fearfully trying to resist and avoid a life you don't want? If you're exhausted trying to find solutions with your head, maybe it's time to give attention to what you're feeling inside instead of doing things to run from it.

Have you ever found yourself thinking, "Wow! I am really in over my head right now." or "Shouldn't I be able to figure this out?" What about questioning how others seem to manage while you feel like you're falling apart? I want to assure you that you're not alone in these thoughts and feelings. It's possible to find peace and confidence in yourself, even during challenging situations or crises, and to feel confident knowing you'll know what to do when difficult emotions and situations arise. Sometimes counseling can provide a little extra support to help you truly feel equipped to handle what life is throwing at you right now.
