Hello... I'm Benjamin Bleck-Owens and my passion is helping people overcome issues to reach their life goals using a highly-personalized collaborative approach to identify, understand and change thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may be preventing them from finding and living a happier, healthier and more powerful version of themselves. Everyone can experience life challenges that prevent them from advancing their personal or professional goals, whether it be problems we create, issues out of our control, managing anxiety, depression or anger, disillusionment with life, relationships or work, or debilitating injuries.

I work with different insurances such as MHS and ICare as well as the ones listed in the insurance field.

My goal in therapy is to offer a space for clients to feel understood and accepted and I believe the healing comes through connection. Building a collaborative, safe, and trusting therapeutic relationship is central to my approach as I help clients find meaning and purpose in their lives and develop healthier relationships with others and themselves. I recognize that each of us gets lots of messages in this world and many of them are negative. I work to help people identify and overcome these negative messages by embracing their strengths to live a satisfying life.

I am passionate about working with clients who are impacted by substance use and mood disorders. I believe in taking a holistic approach to counseling. Understanding how the mind and body work together to impact physical and mental health as part of recovery, is a key component of the work I do with clients. As well as, identifying how our thoughts impact our feelings and behaviors. I believe in collaborating with clients on their recovery journey in order to help you discover your best self.
