Hello. I am a clinical mental health counselor who is licensed in multiple states and have 6 years of experience as a counselor. I use an eclectic approach to counseling as I believe each and every person is unique and requires their own style of counseling and learning. I have worked with individuals ranging from crisis to depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, relationship issues, trauma, and family concerns. I have worked with troubled children and their families.
I truly believe that the body, mind, emotions, and spirituality are all interconnected and in order to get the best results possible, you have to examine all areas of a persons life to help balance out their needs.
My counseling style is also eclectic in that I can match the approach to the needs of my client. I believe in treating everyone with respect and strive to always do the best I can to help my clients. I see each person as an individual and understand that each person has their own perspectives and understandings of their environment, allowing me to individualize each meeting we have together.
It would be my pleasure to have the opportunity to help you in anyway I can to help you through your life journey.

Benjamin has been very helpful with my anxiety and panic attacks. Within one session, my panic attacks decreased by a major amount. I now only after three weeks can actually attend work and normal events with little to no anxiety. He has helped me in all aspects of looking at my life and identifying triggers that I never would of though of. He answers texts in a reasonable time manner and is very invested in my wellbeing.

I have never matched with a therapist so quickly. By the middle of my first session, I knew Ben was going to be a great match to work with.

Against all odds, I found a therapist who knew exactly what I am going through since he, himself, has gone through the very same thing. This thing is uncommon and rarely understood, including by professionals. I have gone through several therapists and almost gave up until I decided to try just one more therapist. Seriously, if one were to legitimately calculate the odds of this happenstance, those odds would be astronomically against its possibility.

I’ve done therapy off and on for about 5 years now, working with four different therapist. Benjamin reminds me a lot of the first therapist I worked with. Unfortunately I was unable to continue to work with that therapist due to an insurance change.
I am glad that I found Benjamin and BetterHelp. Benjamin taught me more in just a couple of session than my last therapist did in an entire year.
Benjamin is concerned with my safety, progress, and mental health. He’s willing to allow me to lead my journey and he’s very knowledgeable.
I would recommend Benjamin to others!

Ben has been great to talk with. He’s personable and leaves good space for me to talk about anything, but really gets to the point when he speaks. I’ve only had a few sessions with him and he’s been great at suggesting some easy tools that have been working for me. All around good dude.

This is my fourth time at therapy. Every time before each therapist focused on a specific issue I was dealing with at that time. It usually takes months to get to the crux of the issue and then start attacking it. This maybe due to time needed for the therapist to understand where I’m coming from and time for me to trust the therapist’s ability to help.
For the first time, trust was established from day one. I need two things from my therapist. Display a comprehensive understanding of mental health and lower the facade of pleasantries, meaning be open to anything I say without judgment and respond with objective honesty.
All we can do here is to “do the work”, and Benjamin has helped me to start doing just that.

Ben used his personal experience and training in psychotherapy to provide solutions when I was feeling anxious or depressed. He provided specific and actionable tools that allowed me to get out of a worried state of mind. Sessions with him were helpful - as they were well-structured and he explained the cause underneath many uncomfortable states of mind. I would highly recommend him as a psychotherapist.

I came to Ben, anxieties at an all time high. Feeling depleted and tired.
Ben was able to help me stabilize my anxieties, face my internal fears and help me ground to think clearly. Helping me redirect my energy to a path of self realization, confidence and reassurance to handle a variety of presented issues head on.
Ben has a wide range of expertise which has been instrumental in the success of quickly finding the root cause of the issues I was experiencing and a path to healing. Supporting an environment for emotional growth and guidance for bringing forth untapped love into our home I was desperately wanting. Ben deeply cares about you as an individual and the individual experience as you navigate therapy and the excercises.
Highly recommend Ben whether you're new to therapy or have been in therapy for years.
Thanks, Ben!

Ben's a great guy. I don't even know where to begin with this guy because of how impressed I've been. He listens without judgement, provides constructive feedback, willing to admit when he's wrong, there for you and willing to do what it takes to show you that. If you're like me then you're probably hesitant to open up. I get it. It's scary. This guy, though, has your back and lets you be you. So, be you and he'll lend you an ear and some great advice.

I love how through Benjamin is in finding out the root cause and naturally solving the problem. I appreciate the fact that Benjamin takes the time to actually understand me as a person and know my background instead of going off of treating symptoms. He uses logic to deconstruct my actions to help me recognize my patterns and I feel like I have someone in my corner who is willing to help. Highly recommend if you are someone who appreciates the science behind the emotional responses.

Ben has helped me through my metamorphosis of my life as I was dragging my ass out of Virginia to Utah and helping me to become a better person. Through those sessions that I have had with him, he has helped me love myself unconditionally and I cannot pay a price high enough that would show how grateful I am to him. The only price I can pay is my gratitude and my friendship he is an incredible human being and I will always be grateful for him. I could not go through all of these life changes without him. He has accepted me, loved me, and supported me throughout what I consider the hardest and most challenging period of my life and yet, it has been the most rewarding. He has augmented how rewarding my life changes have been. Thank you Ben! You know who I am
