More about Aaron
- 1 year's experience
- Male
- LSCSW
I earned the MSW from the University of Kansas in 2014. I have since engaged in a range of direct human and mental health service work, including in-home therapy with youth and their families connected to state child protective services, crisis therapy and case management in a short-term crisis stabilization facility, outpatient community mental health therapy including work with individuals, families or couples, and groups. Since March 2020, I have provided nearly half of all services through telehealth.
