About Aaron Aldridge

About Aaron Aldridge, LCMHC Aaron’s expertise as a therapeutic and educational consultant comes from having worked in the mental health sector for two decades. He has been a primary therapist, a clinical director, and an executive director in treatment programs for adolescents and young adults. He knows what to look for when he evaluates a treatment program. Aaron’s background as a licensed therapist gives him a deep understanding of issues related to adoption, anxiety, depression, addiction, substance abuse, and trauma. Aaron has come to understand how learning difficulties and family dynamics may be part of the equation. And as a father of two young adults, Aaron understands the importance of helping young people gain the skills they will need to lead a fulfilling and productive life. Aaron has all-too-often met with families who have spent tens of thousands of dollars only for their child to end up in the wrong treatment program. Even great programs don’t treat everything. The task of researching programs online is daunting at best. Trying to sift through endless websites can be overwhelming. Even speaking with people at a program isn’t a substitute for working with a therapeutic consultant who has personally visited the programs that are being considered. Aaron visits and tours residential treatment programs throughout the country. He meets the clinical teams, sees where clients will be sleeping, and knows details such as: what the food is like; how the staff are trained; whether a high-standard of care is maintained; and whether therapists use best practices in treatment. When a family contacts Aaron, he knows they are in crisis. He knows it may be one of the worst days of their lives. He empathizes with parents who want the best for their child, while at the same time offering candid advice. Although Aaron is understanding, warm, and non-judgmental, he is also direct in his approach. While hiring a therapeutic consultant is an investment, it will ultimately save you money. Aaron is here to help you find the right options for your child and to stay beside you beyond a placement in a program. Clinical case-management is part of the services Aaron and the team at Personalized Family Solutions offers. It is in-fact concierge therapeutic consulting. Finding the right treatment program can be monumental. It can be life-changing. Aaron can light the way.
