Getting to know Dr. Bentley Hess
I imagine you found yourself here because something in your life isn't working for you, creating distress, inner conflict, or pain. Or maybe you desire inner change-to evolve and grow as a human, parent, partner, or spiritually. Perhaps you want to explore who you are at your core, what you are capable of, or what truly makes you happy. What is it that you want out of life? Whether you seek emotional, spiritual, or physical balance, this is your journey, and I am here to guide you in discovering your personal happiness-what brings you peace and makes you feel centered, complete, and healthy.
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University and over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in diverse psychology settings, including with incarcerated populations, at-risk groups, and individuals with severe mental illness, as well as teaching at the graduate level. These experiences have equipped me with a broad range of skills in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.
I offer individual and couples therapy to support and treat relational issues, anxiety, emotional distress, trauma, and life transitions. I take a collaborative approach, aiming to identify blocks and negative patterns and then release and clear them, while recognizing and building upon your strengths, resources, and coping skills.
I believe therapy is an art because each client is unique. Together, we will develop the best therapeutic process for you. I will utilize the most credible interventions to support meaningful change.
What should a new client know about working with you?
During our first session I will explain what the therapy process will look like, the different treatment methods and interventions I utilize, goal setting, and lastly, I will provide you with different coping skills / techniques that you can begin to use right away to help with any symptoms of distress.

In-network insurances
Dr. Bentley Hess has 150+ in-network plans.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
