AARON STEINBERG
Aaron is an organizational leadership and complex trauma coach.
Armed with a math degree, Aaron started his work life as a professional poker player. Yet, he quickly realized was more interested in figuring out why he couldn't make good choices in these “high-stakes” situations than actually making them. Being the de facto counselor to all his friends and family, and obsessively thinking about “life’s big questions,” it became clear psychology was his path.
He received both a CPCC and PCC life coaching certification and went on to earn an MA in Integral Psychology. He also earned a Level 2 complex trauma therapy certificate from the NARM Institute, and has completed various niche trainings in leadership development, somatic psychology, psychological assessment, and sex education.
Over the last nine years, he has split his time between organizational, individual, and couple’s coaching. He has done behavioral, mental health, wellness, and success coaching with hundreds of individuals, from struggling millennials searching for meaning to artists to business executives to some of the best high-stakes poker players in the world. He cares most about helping people welcome and express the fullness of their humanity, so they can live connected and loving lives filled with aliveness, awe, and freedom.
