I have lived a long and colorful life. Like everyone else, I've made good and bad choices and learned from each. I have 22+ years experience in the mental health and substance abuse treatment field. I DO NOT JUDGE, AT ALL, PERIOD. I can be both blunt and gentle as appropriate. My role is to offer another perspective, a way to see life more fully and function better, no more, no less. I don't pretend to have all the answers but only one slice of wisdom. I just share what can help someone. Some people are not yet ready to be helped. Yet for those who are feeling lost on life's journey and are willing to listen and learn, I'm here to assist. My life work can be summed up in three words, "offering people hope. " "The wound is where the light enters." - Jeladdin Rumi

Benjamin was reading off his screen the whole time honestly very hostile and told me his schedules always full making me feel like he’s got 100 patients and I’m just another paycheck for him. Really didn’t appreciate his preparation for the call or his attitude and diction. He seems like he doesn’t care about his patients and just files them through like orders at a drive through. Was like talking to a robot that didn’t try to hear was going on with me at all and very disinterested responses.DIK

Benjamin takes the time to listen and understand the concern. He is not judgemental. He is patient and meets you where you are at. He offers workable solutions that meet your individual needs. I enjoyed my first session with him and highly recommend him.

Not everyone should do virtual therapy. Had half of his face in view for most of it, felt very impersonal. As far as his style goes, I am sure his direct, self-anecdotal, and pragmatic approach works for some, but I would not recommend going to him for interpersonal issues.
