Aaron Corte

I do my best work with people who struggling against their limitations. These people tend to be ambitious and think they've figured things out, only to discover they, of all people, need support. I specialize in trauma, and take a view that symptoms aren't so much "problems" as they are old responses to pain that over time have become unhelpful.

I specialize in helping clients who desire a better relationship with their creative self. This includes professional artists and business owners, or those unsure of how to actualize their creative passion. My creator-focused approach provides space for you to find clarity amidst the noise of life, and to help you find meaning and a strong sense of purpose for your creative actions.

In our sessions I use a relational style of therapy, meaning I strongly value the connection between us. I do my best to always lead with clear, curious, and trustful communication. I'm influenced by psychodynamic therapy, and primarily use EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my work with clients.

I founded Wellspring Connection in order to increase access to whole-person therapy. I've spent the last couple years conducting an independent study on the relationship between trauma and creativity. I have my M.S.W. from UMich, am trained in EMDR Therapy, and have studied Vipassana Meditation and Mindfulness at Wat Ram Poeng Temple in Thailand. I am also a lifelong musician and love taking good book with me on a long exploratory hike, the more meandering the better!
