Aaron Best, MA, ATR-BC, LPC

Hello, my name is Aaron Best. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a board-certified Art Therapist (ATR-BC) dedicated to supporting individuals and families on their journey toward well-being.

My approach is rooted in the belief that a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship is the foundation for lasting change.

With a Master of Art Therapy from Marywood University, I have honed my skills to offer a warm, person-centered environment where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. I utilize a variety of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), art therapy, and Sandplay, to tailor treatment that reflects your unique needs. My goal is to help build practical tools, gain insight, and discover your inner resilience.

I have extensive experience working with people of all ages, helping them navigate a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am particularly passionate about helping individuals or families build tools that increase self-efficacy and encourage personal healing. Beyond my clinical work, I am committed to community education and have provided mental health training to schools and organizations in the Lackawanna County area.

It takes courage to begin the therapeutic process, and I am here to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore, heal, and grow. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you, your child, or your family!
