Therapist
Aaron Crumrine, MA.
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Aaron is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting youth, families, and communities. His passion for working with young people—and the families who shape them—led him to pursue a degree in counseling and licensure as a therapist. He believes that healthy individuals are nurtured within healthy families, and that strong families build resilient societies. This belief fuels his commitment to helping clients discover hope, confidence, and healing in their own stories.
Aaron brings a wealth of experiential knowledge from his work across school-based programs, community family resource centers, and faith-based agencies. His clinical approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), blended with Narrative Therapy to create a conversational, relational style that helps clients feel seen and understood.
His work often touches many facets of the family unit, working with youth, parents, and marriages. Aaron also brings insight into the unique challenges faced by individuals navigating trauma within religious contexts. He has a deep compassion and a heart for the LGBTQ+ community, especially those who have been harmed by social or religious institutions.
As a clinical supervisor, Aaron finds joy in mentoring emerging therapists, helping them build confidence in their skills and discover their unique voice in the field.
Outside the therapy room, Aaron is a devoted husband and father. He and his wife have been married for 26 years and are raising four children, ages 14 to 24. He’s happiest outdoors—cycling, riding motorcycles, camping, and soaking up nature. And if you’re up for a good-hearted debate, try convincing him that any sport rivals fútbol: “It’s the only sport in the world—the rest are just games.” At 6’6”, Aaron may be hard to miss, but it’s his big heart that truly stands out.
