Professional statement

Aaron Edmiston is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Boerne, Texas and the founder of Blueprint Therapy Services. He specializes in providing evidence-based, non-medication treatment for tics, hair pulling, skin picking, and other repetitive behaviors in children, teens, and adults.

Aaron understands that the problem goes much deeper than the behaviors themselves. They often bring up feeling of shame, anxiety, and social problems. This is why he treats the whole picture rather than just the symptoms. By addressing environmental triggers alongside the emotional and social challenges, Aaron helps families and individuals navigate everything from school support to building self-esteem, making sure these behaviors don't stand in the way of living a full and amazing life.

Treatment is centered on two primary models: Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) and the ComB model for hair pulling and skin picking. Both are practical, easy-to-understand frameworks that focus on identifying triggers and developing effective tools to manage urges as they arise. Because these conditions often occur alongside other challenges, Aaron also provides support for the "full picture" of emotional and neurological health, including co-occurring ADHD and anxiety.

What sets Aaron’s practice apart is a combination of advanced clinical training and a deep personal understanding of these conditions. Having completed specialized training at the UCLA Tourette Association Center of Excellence and having lived experience with tics both personally and as a parent, he creates treatment plans that are grounded in reality. His approach is designed to be straightforward and empowering, giving clients the "ins and outs" of the process so they can eventually manage the urges themselves.

Aaron offers in-person therapy in Boerne, TX, and secure telehealth therapy throughout Texas. He welcomes families and adults to schedule a free consultation to determine whether Blueprint Therapy Services is the right fit for their needs.


Message to clients

In our sessions, we are building a foundation for long-term success. I truly believe in the power of evidence-based treatments like CBIT and ComB because I have seen how they change lives. Having lived with Tourette Syndrome myself, I bring a level of sincere empathy and understanding to our work that only comes from walking a similar path.

This personal history gives me a unique clinical advantage: I can often zero in on the subtle premonitory urges and the sensory "itches" that those without these conditions might miss. Whether we are working on tics or repetitive behaviors like hair pulling and skin picking, this perspective allows us to be more precise when identifying competing responses and stress-reduction techniques. What I promise my clients is that you will always be met with respect and a firsthand understanding of how these urges impact daily life.

My hope is to equip you with strategies to manage not only current symptoms, but any new urges that may arise in the future. Once you understand how these behavioral tools work, you have them for life. I look forward to helping you and your family reclaim your quality of life!
