Ernest Benson
Mr. Ernest Benson provides an active educational experience to individual client's and families. Mr. Benson's therapeutic style encourages open communication, in a comfortable non-judgmental environment favorable to sharing past experiences and related feelings. We utilize this information to implement an effective treatment plan to address the harmful effects of trauma and attempt to reverse it's presence in client’s daily life. Our goal is to teach clients how to remove negative thoughts and behaviors, replacing them with positive behaviors and new patterns of thought.
First session
Our first session will consist of establishing good positive atmosphere to create client-therapist rapport. We will cover the rules of Therapy during the process of informed consent. Then you will tell me why you are interested in counseling services and brief family history. The majority of talking will be you giving me information so I can understand you as my client and how I can best serve your needs for counseling.
Strengths
My style of Therapy is open and encouraging clients to be open. Change does not happen without doing the work. However, I use my personality, my experiences in life and humor, to create a relaxing space for the client to feel comfortable sharing their personal information
Ideal clients
Our goal is to help clients heal from trauma, negative thoughts and behaviors, replacing them with positive behaviors and new thought patterns. While improving self-care and recognizing each person's right and responsibility to identify their purpose in life. Our ultimate goal: is to expose the possibilities of infinite life to our clients, by providing clarity of past trauma, it's effect on daily thoughts, feelings, and actions. By challenging negative thought patterns and offering alternative choices, we create a plan of action to guide the client to a future of unlimited possibilities, bliss in the peaceful existence of a balanced life!
