Aaron Roorda, MA, CCC, APC
Canadian Certified Counsellor & Clinical Practitioner
Aaron is a fully credentialed Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Associate Professional Counsellor (APC) holding a Master of Arts in Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies. Dedicated exclusively to providing professional, evidence-based clinical care, Aaron works from a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework rooted in person-centered and attachment theories. He collaborates with adults, couples, and young adults, placing an extra focus on supporting men in leadership roles navigating high-level responsibility, isolation, and wellness.
Committed to ongoing professional development, Aaron continually pursues diverse clinical trainings to offer the most current care. His practice focuses on several core specializations:
- Faith-Based Issues & Leadership Support (Ordained – Non-Practicing / Strengths-Based Approach): Supporting individuals through existential questioning and theological deconstruction. Drawing from past work experience in pastoral ministry and ordination (non-practicing), Aaron provides a confidential space for leaders experiencing systemic burnout, focusing on leveraging client strengths for resilience. He operates strictly clinically and does not offer pastoral care.
- Religious Trauma & Spiritual Abuse (Certified Religious Trauma Clinician): Guiding clients through the psychological impacts of high-control religious environments, adverse religious experiences, and institutional hurt using specialized recovery strategies.
- Relationship Stressors (Gottman Method Levels 1 & 2): Helping couples navigate attachment dynamics and conflict by integrating research-backed tools for intimacy building.
- Life Transitions & Balance: Utilizing Solution-Focused Therapy and a trauma-informed lens to assist clients through career shifts, workplace stress, and retirement.
- Anxiety: Employing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed training to help clients safely manage chronic stress and worry.
