Ben Register
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Verified
First off, I think it's funny that I'm even a "psychotherapist". I reluctantly started going to counseling myself in college. Surprisingly, it changed my life for the better. I never would have guessed it! It was so beneficial, I ended up getting a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy...not necessarily as a career choice, but simply to continue my personal learning and growth. I've worked in several other career fields, but no other job has even come close to matching the satisfaction I get from helping people find freedom after experiencing some of their darkest times. Now it has become my passion!

I served 8 years in the U.S. Marine Corps. before finding my new calling and love; therapy. We are not meant to do life alone, and times of struggle can be painful illustrations of that. By the time you decide to seek out therapy, you have likely been white-knuckling the steering wheel of life for some time, adapting in the only ways you know. When you walk into my office, please know the courage it took to get here is not lost on me.
Lisa Baldwin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC

Are you a person who finds yourself caring deeply for others while you struggle to care about yourself? Maybe you feel like an imposter and that there is no way that you can measure up to those around you. Do you avoid making decisions or taking risks because you know that you’ll fail anyway? You think even when something is a success that it is only a matter of time before it all falls apart. Do you want to feel that you are valued and have worth that allows you to establish the life that you imagine for yourself? Do you struggle to believe that it’s possible to feel good about yourself?

Bonnie Thomas
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, BSP
Verified
My ideal client is motivated to identify the roots of their problems and not just treat the symptoms. Often people seek therapy for depression and anxiety, very common complaints in my office. I find that trauma and unresolved pain are at the roots of these symptoms. I expect my clients to actively engage in the change process by completing homework and humbly seeking insight into themselves and others. I allow myself to be led by the Holy Spirit, trusting that God's timing is perfect and that he knows best what people need to truly heal. I enjoy helping people foster a relationship with their Creator, leading to deeper healing.
