02 · In Benjamin's own words

What Benjamin says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

As a licensed therapist in Kansas, I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice is deeply rooted in understanding the nuanced emotional landscapes of personal growth, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, and self-esteem concerns.

I offer a compassionate, faith-informed approach that honors each client's unique journey. My work focuses on helping individuals navigate significant life transitions, social challenges, and emotional barriers-including workplace dynamics, relationship difficulties, and personal identity exploration.

My therapeutic approach is holistic and client-centered, drawing from evidence-based practices to support meaningful personal transformation. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, social anxiety, or seeking deeper life purpose, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and professional guidance.

I particularly enjoy supporting men through midlife transitions, attachment challenges, and personal development, creating a safe space for authentic exploration and healing.

03 · How Benjamin works

The 1 approach Benjamin lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Benjamin lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Benjamin's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Benjamin runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Benjamin practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Benjamin's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Benjamin at this point.

2. Naming Benjamin specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Benjamin is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Benjamin.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Benjamin's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Benjamin. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
