Hello, I’m Aaron Knapp (he/him), and I’m excited to join Ebb & Flow Counseling as a CounselorTrainee. I hold a BS in Psychology from The Ohio State University, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at John Carroll University.

I believe that empathy, understanding, and collaboration form the foundation for an effective therapeutic relationship. I help support and encourage my clients in setting their own goals that are achievable, realistic, and will have the most impact on their lives to help them feel better or get closer to their values. Our work together may integrate elements of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Ultimately, the therapeutic approach used is what best fits each individual client’s needs, strengths, and goals.

I have experience working with depression and anxiety and a particular interest in working with couples, adolescents, 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, and issues of identity. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, warm, accepting environment where clients will feel comfortable enough to talk about whatever is on their mind. Therapy is not just a place to address challenges big or small but also a place to come when the car of life just needs a tune-up.

In my free time, I enjoy going to the theater, singing loud enough to give the neighbors a free concert, walking around the Cleveland Museum of Art, trying new restaurants, and going to drag shows and movies.

Thank you for taking this step towards supporting yourself. I look forward to working with you!
