“I have never had a male therapist before, so I was hesitant, but I am so glad I found Ben! Talking to him is like talking to a good friend. Ben is everything I’ve been searching for in a therapist (and I’ve seen many). He is professional, easy to talk to, a great listener (because I can TALK), he tells me what I need to hear, he can also make me laugh, and he has thoughtful, valuable insights. Ben is the type of therapist who wants to give you what you want and need out of your sessions. For example, I also wanted someone who doesn’t just listen, but gives advice and actionable steps for me to take outside of our time together. We’ve had a few sessions now and I can’t imagine changing therapists again. Ben is the real deal. You’re welcome for not gate-keeping him! :)”

I absolutely recommend Mr. Ben! He’s incredibly understanding, easy to talk to, and creates a space where you feel comfortable being yourself. His perspective and guidance have made a real difference in how I handle things, and I’m so thankful for the support, progress, and everything he’s done to help me keep moving forward.
I have been going to ben turner for almost a year and he has been excellent. I started seing him because I felt lost in life and with his help a year later I feel I am in a much better place Even if in the moment it doesn't feel that way sometimes. He is always willing to listen give good advice and has a very positive energy about him and is always willing to help/hear you out. I've gone to 2-3 therapists before and he is by far the one I connected with the most couldn't think of somebody id recommend more!
very personable, listens and engages
