About Benjamin Wayburn

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. I am more interested in your uniqueness than your diagnosis and I expect a full recovery in treatment.
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.
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.
Depending on preference, I can be direct in helping people identify their goals by collaborating on a treatment plan. I can also be non-direct and identify our goals through the flow of the conversation.
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.

“Very easy to talk to.”

“Benjamin has a great way of presenting my own words back to me at the end of a session in a manner that helps me to see the larger picture of what we have been discussing. He takes my concerns seriously, but helps me to see when things that I am worried about may not be as big of a deal as I am concerned that they are. I also appreciate that he hasn't pushed any major changes to my life, but instead encourages small tweaks that add up to more confidence and better habits over time.”

“Great and very knowledgeable Therapist”

“Awesome work my friend!”

“Im not sure I’ve experienced a therapist like Benjamin Wayburn. He’s the 3rd therapist I’ve had but I find him to be the most real and the best so far! I appreciate his attitude, perspectives, and ability to chime in when needed and listened when needed. A true pro!”

“Benjamin is a delight to have for a therapist, I was very hesitant about getting into therapy. He has made it feel almost natural, and has provided me with the confidence to continue therapy. I would recommend him to anyone thinking about starting.”

“In my few sessions I immediately dove in with a full trauma dump and in the middle of a crisis and Benjamin listened and we are starting to work on my anxiety’s and I am making plans for my overthinking and I am feeling hopeful. I am glad I made this investment for myself.”

“Benjamin is by far the most effective therapist I’ve ever had. His feedback is insightful and often helps me consider my situations and thoughts from a new perspective.”

“Benjamin has been a huge help to me the past few years. I’ve made significant improvements in how I handle stress and my relationship with my partner has grown as well through his guidance and listening ear. I can’t thank Benjamin enough and am looking forward to continuing to work with him”

“I don’t know where I’d be without Benjamin Wayburn.”

“Benjamin Wayburn has always been exactly who I need to help treat my mental health. Him being there for me has kept me on track, and without him, I wouldn't have made such substantial progress. He doesn't judge, is an excellent listener and really cares about how you're doing.”

“He is very respectful an listens well while also giving options and ideas to try an help”

“Benjamin is excellent. He is very good at listening thoroughly to me, and providing lots of insight and support. he is also good at helping me find ways to challenge myself a little and make positive changes in my life in very bite sized and achievable ways.”

“I so appreciate Benjamin's expertise and personal style in listening and questioning that creates space for me to discover new, better ways to think about things that are troublesome in order to move forward with more joy, ease, and openness.”

“He really knows how to listen and acknowledge exactly what you are telling him so he can help with any problems you have. He's also very understanding of situations and gives you the best advice to be better!”
