Aloha e, Aaron Mitchell has been a licensed mental health counselor for over a decade. He approaches therapy differently in that he frames it to your culture/values, faith or spirituality. This way, therapy makes sense and it doesn't feel like someone is trying to change all things that make you wonderful. I utilize many therapeutic approaches from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Solution Focused Therapy; whatever works best for you. I avoid rehashing traumas. If this is your concern, I’ve got you covered. If you’re concerned about saving face, there really isn’t much need to go into too much of the details.
