Aaron Leigh Horton, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, NCC, M.S.

Supervised by Bryan C. Duncan, PhD, LPC-S. If you are in search of a compassionate guide to support your journey towards emotional well-being, I specialize in assisting adolescents and adults who are grappling with mood and anxiety challenges, complex trauma, women’s issues, narcissistic abuse, attachment concerns, and intricate personality dynamics. In the realm of couples, my dedication lies in refining communication, nurturing healthy conflict resolution, and collaboratively crafting a harmonious vision for your family’s future. My approach is rooted in the belief that empowerment comes through psychoeducation and the development of personalized mental health plans that lead to enduring transformation. I meticulously design tailored treatment strategies with clear, measurable objectives. By incorporating therapeutic breathwork, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques, I expedite relief from symptoms while delving into the underlying emotional and behavioral patterns that shape your well-being. When addressing issues related to personality disorders, attachment difficulties, and identity exploration, I draw from developmental and psychodynamic perspectives, bringing a wealth of expertise in treating a wide range of personality complexities, including borderline, narcissistic, and schizoid. My educational background includes a B.A. in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin. My professional journey led me from a corporate executive career to earning an M.S. in clinical mental health counseling from Tarleton State University. I am actively involved in advocacy work as a patient advocate for the National Center for Healthcare Research and have contributed thought-provoking writings that challenge the limitations of the FDA’s 510k marketing process. Beyond my professional pursuits, I am passionate about gardening, creative expression, ongoing learning, and the healing power of humor. Nestled in Central Texas with my husband, two dogs, and parakeet, we treasure family moments and embark on memorable camping adventures. I find solace in the restoration of family bonds, recognizing them as a vital conduit to holistic well-being. If you’re ready to take that important step towards a happier, healthier you, I encourage you to book a session with me today. Together, we can work towards a brighter future. You can trust that you are in capable hands.
