Ben’s Background

People are fascinating. Ben, having grown up in Cache Valley, didn’t have a lot of contact with people. There were a lot of hay bales, though. He has dedicated the second half of his life to sitting with people who are navigating some of the most challenging aspects of their lives. He has extensive experience in accompanying people on their journeys through anxiety, depression, various traumas, and relationship issues. Ben has a unique insight into the medical and EMS communities. He has worked with medical professionals over the last 8 years and has developed a strategy to efficiently work with this population.

 Medical/EMS professionals and COVID-19

Ben is uniquely positioned to offer support to medical professionals during the current pandemic. He has worked for the past 8 years with medical staff from the University of Utah. He has developed an approach that helps medical professionals quickly determine a course of action to help them remain at the top of their abilities.

He has worked with physicians (all specialties; surgeons, oncology, ICU, ER, Etc.), nurses, EMS, police, and fire fighters. He is consistently impressed with the natural resilience these helpers exhibit, and he wants them to know, if they are struggling, that things can get better. All people have a limit and when someone has found their limit it is imperative that they reach out for support. Ben can help recover and reset when those limits are reached. He is committed to quickly and respectfully guiding these professionals through their own struggles to help them get back to doing what they care about.

Ben is able to offer teletherapy treatment that is responsive, confidential, and convenient.
