I am Aaron Shaffer, I am the founder and owner of Songbird Counseling. I started Songbird Counseling when I saw Huntsville’s growing demand for a relational approach to therapeutic care in a rapidly expanding city. We’re a team of trauma-informed clinical mental health professionals trained in a variety of specialties and methodologies and focused on meeting the growing needs of Huntsville. I often have a waitlist, but If you need to get started sooner, one of the associate counselors in my practice or one of the interns I supervise could be a good fit for you. Please visit SongbirdCounselingHSV.com to learn more.
I have experience with a wide variety of issues, my main speciality is men's issues. I am a Certified Sexual Addictions Therapist and a Certified Multiple Addictions Therapist w/ a focus on Internet and Gaming Addiction through the International International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals.
I use an integrated model of counseling pulling from several theories including: interpersonal processing, attachment theory, and client-centered therapy. Behind all my approaches I rely on a solid theological framework. Depending on your presenting problem I will customize my approach to what best serves you.
