Personal Experience Meets Clinical Expertise: A Better Path for Tics.

I specialize in Tourette Syndrome and Tic disorders because I know the landscape from the inside out. I live with Tourette Syndrome myself, and I have watched my own child struggle with the exhaustion, the worry, and the feeling of losing control.

I’m Aaron Edmiston, LPC. For my family, everything changed when we found CBIT. Seeing the profound success in my son’s life was the catalyst for my professional shift. I realized there was a significant lack of accessible, expert care, and I committed to becoming part of the solution.

The Highest Standard of Care

To ensure my clients receive the highest level of guidance, I completed intensive, specialized training at UCLA under Dr. John Piacentini, one of the world’s leading researchers and developers of CBIT. By combining my lived experience with these evidence-based, clinically approved techniques, I provide a roadmap that is both empathetic and scientifically proven. You aren't just getting a therapist; you are getting a specialist who uses these same tools in his own home.

Reclaiming Control from Your Tics

It is important to be clear: CBIT is not a cure for Tourette Syndrome, as there is no known cure. Instead, it is a proven system for management and agency. The goal is not perfection; the goal is to equip you with strategies so that tics no longer dictate your daily life or limit your potential. The moment a client realizes they can become the expert in their own care, everything changes.

Confidence That Lasts

I believe the best therapy is the kind that empowers you to no longer need it. Together, we will build a customized plan that addresses the tics as well as the anxiety, ADHD, OCD, or other challenges that often come with them. My goal is to move you past the point of just "getting by" and give you the skills to manage your symptoms on your own. I want to leave you with the confidence to focus on your life and your future, knowing you have a plan that works for a lifetime.

How We Get Started:

  1. The Consultation: We meet to discuss your specific challenges and ensure we are a perfect fit.

  2. The Treatment: Using CBIT we work toward Tic management.

  3. The Result: You and your child gain the lifelong tools and confidence to manage tics independently. Once you learn CBIT, you will have the tools to manage current and future Tics - however, I will always be here if you need booster session or support.
