Benjamin Wenger

Hello, I’m Ben Wenger! (LISW-S) I believe that the heart of successful therapy lies in the relationship we build together. Since I began my journey in 2003, my goal has always been to meet people where they are and support them in becoming the best versions of themselves. My path has taken me through many different clinical worlds—from residential treatment centers and foster care to group therapy and outpatient counseling. Today, I specialize in working with adolescents (high school age and up) and adults. Whether you are navigating a difficult life transition or working through long-standing patterns, I am here to provide a space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered. My Approach to Therapy: I am a trauma-informed therapist, which means I view through the lens of what you’ve been through, rather than "what is wrong" with you. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and a EMDR Consultant in Training, which allows me to help clients process painful memories and move past the things that keep them feeling stuck. With a background that includes a Master’s in Social Administration and an Executive MBA, I bring a unique perspective to my work—balancing deep clinical empathy with a practical understanding of executive functioning and work-related stressors. Areas of Specialization While I work with a wide range of needs, I have extensive experience in: Trauma & Recovery: EMDR, abuse, and grief. Neurodiversity: ADHD/ADD, Executive Functioning, and Autism Spectrum. Mental Wellness: Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and mood disorders. Relationships: Family issues, LGBTQIA+ support, and parent coaching. Life & Career: Work-related stress and adjusting to major life changes. Evidence-Based Tools I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I tailor our sessions using proven methods, including but not limited to: EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) MI (Motivational Interviewing) TIP (Transition to Independence)
