Benjamin Gerrard is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) in Kansas, offering individual therapy for adults and young adults. With 19 years of experience, he provides in-person and telehealth services from Lawrence, KS. He specializes in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and trauma, and is an LGBTQ ally. Benjamin accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield and offers in-network, out-of-network, and out-of-pocket payment options. As a certified Brainspotting practitioner, I enjoy working with people to help them to release themselves from emotions and behaviors that they no longer want interfering with their life. I have spent years exploring the latest therapies and helping people to let go of anger, shame, guilt, anxiety, flashbacks, and depression as well as grief and problematic compulsions. The therapy is supportive and designed to help achieve the change you want in the shortest time possible.
