Aaron Vanman, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
I am a licensed therapist in Illinois with nearly thirty years of experience. I have worked with most client populations including adults, women, elderly, hospice and the disabled. I have worked with clients with a wide range of issues including depression, PTSD, anxiety, grief and loss, vocational or financial concerns, anger issues, survivors of physical, emotional and sexual abuse as well as relationship issues.
My focus will be listening to your concerns and providing you genuine and warm acceptance that you need as you address your concerns during therapy.
My therapeutic approach includes a combination of cognitive therapy and client centered with solution focused interventions.
I use humor with therapy as appropriate and am naturally curious about others as well as learning more about folks, I look forward to working with you as your treatment teammate!
