Professional statement

Currently accepting new couples and clients for online video-call therapy sessions with a wide schedule 7 days a week.

Ben Brandley is a Licensed Associate Counselor who is uniquely cross-trained with a Master's degree in Counseling and a PhD in Communication. Ben's education and experiences allow compassionate and helpful care for couples and client's moving through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, identity, or relationship challenges. Ben specializes in LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and welcomes clients from all backgrounds. Clients and couples in relationships of polyamory, open, ethical non-monogamy, relational anarchy, etc. are also welcome.

Ben's approach is strategically eclectic, borrowing from various therapies to make the best therapy experience for the couples' and client's personal needs. Self-Compassion Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Trauma-Informed Care, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Multicultural & LGBTQ Counseling, Psychoanalysis, and more are just some tools used, based on the client's goals.

Message to clients

You deserve a space where your story is heard, your strengths are recognized, and your healing is supported. Healing looks different for everyone. There’s no single path—just the one that makes sense for you. I'm here to support you through it with warmth, care, and strategies to feeling better.

Recognizing we all heal in different ways, I use a range of therapies: Self-Compassion Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Trauma-Informed Care, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Multicultural Counseling, Psychoanalysis, and more. I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming therapy and welcome couples and clients from all backgrounds. Clients and couples in relationships of polyamory, open, ethical non-monogamy, relational anarchy, etc. are also welcome.

I am deeply committed to making mental health accessible, I accept Aetna, AmeriBen, Anthem, Banner Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, BlueCross and BlueShield, Cigna and Evernorth, First Health, Magellan, and PAI, as well as out-of-network clients who are claiming their OON benefits. Please reach out to collaborate on making therapy affordable for you.
