Working with me directly

Two ways to work together, and where you live decides which.

That sounds like a technicality. It isn't. A counseling license is granted by a particular state and only reaches as far as that state's border, so what I can offer you depends on where you sit when we talk.

In Tennessee

Counseling

Clinical work, through my practice. This is therapy in the full sense: assessment, diagnosis where it's warranted, and treatment, with everything that comes with being somebody's licensed counselor.

  • Individuals and couples
  • Insurance accepted
  • In person in Memphis, or telehealth anywhere in Tennessee
  • Scheduling, intake, and records handled by the practice

My practice is Life Wellness Counseling. Appointments are booked there, not here.

Coaching

If you're in another state or another country, I can't be your counselor. I can work with you as a coach, which is a different thing and worth being precise about.

  • Married and engaged couples, and individuals working on a marriage
  • Video calls, wherever you are
  • Practical and forward-looking: patterns, scripts, repair
  • By enquiry, so we can check it's the right fit before either of us commits

Coaching is not therapy. No diagnosis, no treatment, no clinical record, and it does not create a therapist–client relationship. If what you need is treatment, I'd rather help you find it than sell you something adjacent to it.

Tell me about your situation
The difference, plainly

Coaching is for stuck, not for unsafe.

Coaching suits couples who are fundamentally on the same side and keep landing in the same argument. It is the wrong tool, and I will say so, if there's abuse, coercive control, untreated addiction, active self-harm, or anything that needs a clinician who can legally treat you where you live. In those situations I'll point you toward proper care in your own state or country, which is worth far more to you than an hour with me.

I also don't take current or former counseling clients into coaching. Keeping those two roles separate protects you more than it protects me.

Coaching enquiry

Tell me why you're reaching out.

As much or as little as you want. It comes straight to me, I read all of them, and I'll reply either with next steps or with a better direction for what you're describing.

This goes to Aaron directly. Please don't include anything you'd consider clinical detail. If you're in crisis or need urgent help, contact a licensed provider where you live, or in the US call or text 988.
