KAPWA: Healing is not a solitary journey, but something held within a community." -Dr. M. Asuncion-Uy "Having a person who you can open up to and know you will be heard without judgment is great. Having that person push outside your comfort zone to be a better version of yourself is even greater. That's what Ben does for me." -Adult “From the first session, Ben created a safe and welcoming space. Ben’s warm and welcoming personality helped our child feel comfortable and open up. Ben is incredibly skilled at communicating with adolescents, acting out different scenarios, explaining how to work through difficult situations and tailors each session to our child's needs. He is very communicative with us as parents and we feel part of our child’s treatment plan in helping our child be the best they can be. We feel so blessed to have found Ben. “ -Parent "Ben is a wonderful mediator and guide in our marriage. He’s easy to talk to. Knows when to step in to bring the conversation back to a constructive flow. While still giving each side time to discuss, feel, and process our own thoughts; brings us back together to tackle it as a partnership instead of apart. Gives us tools to follow up with…. even if he’s got to remind us a few times lol. We really appreciate him." -Spouse Warm Greetings! In 1993 I began gaining experience in the counseling field. I have specialized in working with children, tweens, teens, and young adults. Adult clients ranging up to seniors can explore in an accepting space as I journey alongside them. I currently work extensively with diverse families and adults with unique backgrounds as well. I believe in creating a safe space for all individuals to be heard and validated. I value building trust and openness with people to support them as they unravel the twists and turns that life presents us all. When I listen attentively in sessions, the person, couple, or family are the most important people in the room as we seek to shed light on the areas we can discover together. I see clients both virtually and in my office. kapwawellnessva@gmail.com, 804-372-7468 FAX 804-538-3740
