Benjamin Wayburn, LMHC, LPC, LPCMH — Therapist in Arizona

Hi there, I'm Benjamin!

I am more interested in your uniqueness than your diagnosis, and I expect a full recovery in treatment

My focus

I fit well with expectations from a person who is here on their own volition, is willing and open to change, and is trying to develop resiliency in life, problem-solving without drama in relationships, and self-respect.

My approach

The issues I work with in therapy are mind-body issues. I do not have a mental illness approach. What is good for the body is good for the brain and vice versa. My openness and inclusivity influence my approach to therapy. I do not judge. I accept.

My communication style

I try my best to provide a secure space and collaborate. I take notes and I read them at the end of the session. As opposed to homework, I offer experiments to try between conversations.

My goals for you

Depending on preference, I can be direct in helping people identify their goals by collaborating on a treatment plan. I can also be indirect and identify our goals through the flow of the conversation.

Our first session

A first session with me begins with a casual greeting and formalities regarding confidentiality, rights, and risk assessment questions, followed by a lead-in question to get the ball rolling.
