Benjamin Lewis

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses to helping people overcome life’s challenges and develop a path forward creating a more desirable version of themselves. I specialize in working with adults and young adults. My experience spans college campuses, substance use, and community mental health, supporting individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I work to offer an open and accepting environment to validate and process your experiences and collaboratively work with you to identify your goals for the change you hope to see in yourself and your life.

Over the ten years of working as a counselor I have developed a collaborative, client centered approach grounded in evidenced based practices. I am trained and certified in Cognitive Behavioral therapy integrating techniques an approaches from cognitive processing therapy, and brief solution focused therapy. My approach with clients focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns in clients lives including thoughts, emotions and behaviors then creating a solution focused plan for altering them through cognitive/though restructuring skills, coping strategies and resiliency training. Regardless of the issues and concerns you are facing I work with you to tailor a path forward to address you specific needs and empower and facilitate lasting change going forward.

Our first session is a focused dive into your story, goals, and challenges. I take time to understand your background so we can begin addressing the root issues—not just the symptoms. You’ll leave with practical tools, greater clarity, and a sense of direction. I emphasize growth, resilience, and self-awareness and work to challenge when necessary to help facilitate the meaningful change you are looking for along your path of change.
