Getting to know Benjamin Frey

I am a flexible counselor, comfortable using an eclectic mix of interventions from multiple theoretical modalities to suit the unique needs of each client. My default approach combines psychodynamic and cognitive interventions, with an overarching focus on the importance of narrative meaning-making in the emotional lives of clients. I have experience working with clients from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds and age groups, ages 18 and up. I offer couples and family counseling but am not a specialist in those fields. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hood College. In my free time, I enjoy playing strategy board, card, and computer games. I am an amateur poet and animal lover, as well as an avid camper.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Many people who seek counseling have unresolved emotional conflicts and/or content which are causing them to become “stuck” in life, unable to emotionally move forward, like an engine filled with debris. My goal is to help the client dislodge and process this content, which helps them think more rationally, which in turn helps them control their behavior. Early sessions are spent establishing rapport, building a case history, and doing deep emotional work, with a pivot to more cognitive and behavioral work once progress has been made on the emotional front.

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.
