Hi, I'm Ben. I have over 15 years of experience working with clients in mental health, and over 10 years as an independently licensed clinician. I can provide services to clients anywhere in Arizona via telehealth, or in-person at my office in Central Phoenix.
I believe that all individuals have the ability to learn, grow, and improve their lives. I’ve seen and understand how difficult that can be though. With that, I use counseling as a resource to help people explore their goals, understand the challenges they are facing, and identify steps for moving forward. If you feel like you've been struggling to figure it out on your own but are ready to take the next steps, I'm here to help.
As a counselor, I believe my role is to support and guide my clients as they work toward their goals. To do that, I work to create a safe, supportive, and therapeutic relationship where my clients feel safe and comfortable exploring their experiences and learning new skills to help overcome the challenges they've been facing.
Through my years of experience and training, I bring a wide array of tools and an eclectic approach that allows me to customize therapy to meet the needs of each individual I work with.
Our first session will focus on gaining an understanding of your background, what brings you to counseling, and what you hope to see change. It will also be an opportunity for me to get to know you better, and for you to get to know me.
I like to provide information on the approach I use in the first session too. So it is pretty typical for me to provide a few handouts on tools I use in therapy. It's not homework! But I like to be sure my clients have resources and tools they can use between sessions if they want them.
Ongoing services focus on learning how to integrate specific tools and skills to help you move toward your goals. While I do like to make sure to give tools you can use between sessions, a lot of growth and development comes through the processing we do in sessions as well.
If you have any questions about my approach or how I work as a counselor, please feel free to call or email me. I'm happy to do a consult call to help you determine if I'm a good fit.
