Benjamin Smalley, MS
(he/him)

MSW Counseling Student Intern

Through it all, I have developed a strong value for service and leveraging my analytical strengths with my love for connecting to people and helping them leverage their own strengths to overcome the obstacles in their lives. I sincerely believe that we are all doing our best to be our best, and as social creatures we sometimes need to lean on each other to be our best.


I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from several approaches to draw a holistic perspective on your life. One of my primary focal points is to examine how you have successfully navigated other issues in your life and figure out what inherent strengths you have to overcome challenges and adapt them to where you are now.


I know entering therapy can be daunting, so let's keep it low stakes and start with a conversation. I am excited to connect with new clients. Please do not hesitate to reach out so that we can schedule a 15 minute consultation and see if this is a good fit for you to meet your goals.
