Benjamin (ben) Brandley
Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC)
If you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, relationship struggles, or career/school stress, I’m here to help you find healing.
Everyone deserves a space where their story is heard, their strengths are recognized, and their healing is supported. Therapy can be that space. This space is especially for those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and stress related to school or career. Healing looks different for everyone. That’s why this work draws from multiple approaches, including narrative and cultural therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Self-Compassion practices, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. There’s no single path—just the one that makes sense for you. Credentials: - PhD in Communication - Master of Counseling - Licensed Associate Counselor
