About
Thoughtful care for the work that matters most.
I'm Benjamin Cole, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in private practice. I work with adults who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and live with greater intention.
Background
I hold a M.Ed. in Counseling and am licensed as an LPCC in the state of Kentucky. My approach is collaborative and centers around what is best for you and your care. Your treatment is unique to you and your needs!
Working in community mental health and treating addiction has profoundly shaped the therapist I am today. These experiences have taught me that there is almost always more beneath the surface of a person’s struggles. They have deepened my empathy and strengthened my commitment to seeing each person as a whole human being. You are more than your symptoms!
Philosophy
My approach
Collaborative
Therapy is built on a professional relationship between the therapist and client.We have to be able to work together to figure out what the problem is and how we are going to fix it.
Open Minded
I keep an open mind and understand that each person is unique. I value your feedback and utilize it to improve our work together. If something isn't working, we can discuss it and find ways forward in your therapy.
Honest
I believe in saying what's true, even when it's uncomfortable. Therapy that only validates rarely moves people forward. The truth is important, even when it is uncomfortable.
Let's see if we're a good fit.
I offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation for new clients. It's a low-pressure way to ask questions and get a sense of whether working together makes sense.
