For the Fixers, the Leaders, and the “Strong Ones”

The Mask Is Getting Heavy.

You are the person everyone else leans on. High-achieving, compassionate, and reliable—you are the expert at navigating everyone else’s crisis. But behind the scenes, you are quietly exhausted.

Maybe it’s high-functioning burnout. A relationship that’s turned into a "roommate syndrome" battlefield. Or an old wound that can’t be ignored anymore. Whatever brought you here, you don’t need a passive listener.

You need a strategy for relief.

I’m Aaron Footman. I don’t just offer a safe space—I offer a grounded, tactical approach to healing. With over a decade of experience and a background in Conflict Resolution, I help individuals and couples move out of survival mode by blending clinical logic with deep empathy. I do this work because I understand what it costs to always be the strong one—and I know exactly what it takes to finally put the armor down.

I don’t just nod and take notes. I help you dismantle the patterns that keep you stuck using three core pillars:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): To stop cycles of disconnection and replace distance with real, visceral trust.

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Practical tools to regulate your nervous system when it actually matters—in real-time.

• Conflict Mediation: Providing the clinical clarity needed to break relational deadlocks without the usual escalation or blame.

I work with professionals, leaders, and neurodivergent couples (including ADHD) who are overwhelmed, over-functioning, and tired of carrying the weight alone. My clients don't just "talk" about their problems; they leave therapy feeling steadier, clearer, and more in control—at work, at home, and within themselves.

This work is not about litigating the past or staying stuck in old stories. It is for people ready to engage honestly and build something better.

Healing isn’t just about feeling better. It’s about functioning better.

Take the weight off. Schedule a consultation today, and let’s see if this tactical approach is the right fit for your life.

Let’s stop litigating your past—and start building your peace.
