Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA)
You don't have to face life's challenges alone. Everyone deserves a supportive place to explore their thoughts and begin their own journey.
Hi, I’m Ben—a Social Worker and Navy veteran who served as a Corpsman with the USMC—based in the Raleigh area. I have a passion for supporting students, first responders, military members active, discharged, or retired, healthcare professionals at any level, as well as blue-collar workers and farmers. Though my work is by no means limited to those groups. If you’re seeking positive change, navigating life’s challenges, or working through mental health concerns, I’m here to help. My approach is rooted in building genuine, collaborative experiences that empower you to move forward with confidence.
