Welcome! I’m a therapist who believes therapy should be as unique as you are. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I look at the 'big picture.' By bringing together your mind, body, and emotional well-being, we can create a space where you feel truly supported and empowered to grow.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 27 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges — and let’s be honest, life can get pretty complicated sometimes. I’ve worked with young adults, adults, an couples in a variety of settings, supporting clients through concerns related to anxiety, depression, stress, work–life balance, relationships, self-esteem, and substance use.
Hello, my name is Benjamin Watkins. I look forward to working with you to make the positive changes you desire in your life. I have worked in the field since I was 19, starting as a Mentor. Helping others is my passion in life. I worked with children, adolescents, and parents in the foster care system, overcoming trauma and developing positive attachments. I have worked with a variety of issues.
When your health changes, your whole life can change.
Maybe you don’t feel like yourself anymore.
You may be living with a chronic illness, unpredictable symptoms, pain, fatigue, or a condition that other people can’t see. You may still be working, caring for your family, and doing everything you’re expected to do—but you’re exhausted from trying to keep up with a life that no longer fits your body.
Perhaps you’re grieving the person you used to be, struggling with anxiety about the future, feeling guilty when you need to rest or say no, or wondering how to maintain your relationships while your needs are changing.
You don’t have to choose between accepting your new reality and still wanting a meaningful life.
Therapy can help you:
- Adjust to changes in your health and abilities.
- Grieve the life, roles, or identity you may have lost.
- Manage anxiety about symptoms and the future.
- Develop a healthier relationship with limitations, rest, and self-care.
- Navigate changes in work, family, friendships, and relationships.
- Reconnect with who you are beyond your diagnosis.
- Find meaning and purpose when life looks different than you expected.
You are more than your diagnosis.
Together, we can work toward a life that feels meaningful—not necessarily the life you originally planned, but one that fits who you are now.
