Take Back Control Over Tics and Tourette Syndrome.
Move beyond the uncertainty of tics. Use the gold-standard, non-medication behavioral treatment to manage tics and reclaim your life.
The "Wait and See" Approach Isn’t Working.
Watching your child struggle with tics—and feeling like there is nothing you can do—is heartbreaking. You may have been told there are no options other than heavy medication or hoping they outgrow it. This is simply not true. There is a path forward that has helped thousands learn to manage their tics without the use of heavy medications.
Professional Training Meets Lived Experience.
I’m Aaron Edmiston, LPC. I live with Tourette Syndrome, and I am the parent of a child with tics. I know the battles of this condition intimately, as well as the profound impact of treatment.
Because I believe in the power of behavioral treatment, I completed specialized training under Dr. John Piacentini, a leading developer of CBIT. My practice combines world-class clinical expertise with a personal understanding of your journey to help you lead a life defined by you, not your tics..
A Proven Path to Relief
CBIT (Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics) is the gold-standard, non-medication treatment recognized by the American Academy of Neurology and the Tourette Association of America.
Awareness Training: Your child learns to recognize the "premonitory urge"—the physical sensation that happens just before a tic occurs—giving them a head start to intervene.
Competing Behavior: Your child masters a subtle action to perform when they feel the urge to tic, effectively breaking the neurological habit loop.
Lifestyle Management: You discover how to identify and adjust the day-to-day activities and environmental triggers that worsen tics, naturally reducing their frequency and intensity.
A Clear Path to Mastery
Consultation: I meet with you to discuss your specific challenges and ensure I am a perfect fit for your family.
Treatment: Using CBIT, I work with you to develop a customized plan for tic management.
Result: You and your child gain the lifelong tools and confidence to manage tics independently.
A Future of Confidence
Imagine the relief of knowing your child has the skills to handle any tic, at school or with friends, for the rest of their life. No more late-night searching for answers and no more feeling helpless. Just a clear path forward and a child who feels back in control.
Effective Treatment, Accessible to All of Texas
My practice is focused on providing highly effective treatment where it is most convenient for you.
In-Person Sessions: For those who prefer to meet in person, I offer sessions at my office in Boerne, Texas.
Virtual Sessions: I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions to all residents located anywhere in Texas. Research indicates that virtual delivery of CBIT is as effective as in-person treatment.
Hybrid Model: Some families choose to meet for the initial assessment in person and complete follow-up sessions virtually. I will design a plan that fits your family's needs.
