Trauma and PTSD Therapists in St John's, NL
In difficult times, we struggle to cope, and often engage in self-defeating behaviours that can further complicate our lives. I offer a service where you can feel safe to share without being judged. I have practiced counselling for over 17 years, with a 25+ year social work career history. I am a registered social worker, and obtained my Bachelor of Social Work degree from McGill University. I have also completed some MSW study at Memorial University, and have received intensive training from psychoanalyst Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes-Reyes.

I have substantial experience treating complex trauma.
One of the consequences of stress is re-experiencing it in the mind and body, leaving us depleted and disconnected from life. Intense reactions can be confusing and distressing. Making sense of our experiences, putting them in perspective, and changing unhelpful ways of thinking, behaving, and coping increases our resilience. I welcome individuals from all walks of life and have a particular interest in nurses, physicians and first responders; military, veterans and their families; survivors of adverse childhood experiences; adult children of narcissistic parents; and those experiencing workplace stress and life transitions.

I specialize in working with RCMP members and spouses, other first responders and their spouses, veterans, trauma and PTSD, and rural, remote, and very remote clients.
Trust and comfort take time. You might not be sure about the virtual-only office but there are great benefits. If you are an RCMP member, other police member or first responder, CAF member, veteran, or family/spouse of any of these, you are in the right place. Even though I haven’t had boots on the ground, being part of the family, I get how things can be.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to look for the right Counsellor- ME! LOL! Finding a Counsellor who is warm, kind, humorous and inviting will help you open up. We can talk about whatever is troubling you and stealing peace in your life. We can find solutions, a plan and goals in helping you move forward or recover. Sometimes clients have mental illness, relationship or personal problems that are stopping them from leading the best life possible. My work is to help you find out what the problem is and to find out what supports and strengths you already have and used in the past. Together we will explore solutions.

I offer trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and behavioural strategies for grief, trauma, relationships, addictions, anger, and workplace stress.
Welcome — I’m Ben, and I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges with care and understanding.
I believe that having a skilled and compassionate counsellor alongside you can open up new insights and pathways you may never have considered on your own. My approach is grounded in unconditional positive regard — I see you as a whole person, not a set of problems — and my priority is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and begin to heal.
