Meet our Clinicians
Benjamin Meyer, Licensed Professional Counselor
An ideal client
Do you find yourself wondering why you do what you do? Repeating the same patterns? Making the same kinds of choices, even though you are not sure how this could have happened? You're not alone. In my counseling practice, I'll guide you to learn how and why these things occur and what you can do to change it. We'll take a look at how your awareness is shaped by powerful forces-- more specifically, the thoughts and beliefs that may have been established when you were much younger. I'll help you find your truth, so you can better understand yourself, and make choices you feel proud of.
Treatment approach:
I am certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Deprogramming and Re-processing) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and I lean toward the theroetical orientations of psychodynamism (psychological) and existentialism (philosophic) in my work. I use an approach called Emotion-focused therapy when I work with couples. Understanding behavior is my passion. I obtained my degree in Psychology at Ohio State University and I received my Master's in Counseling at Ottawa University in Phoenix, Arizona.
I offer secure online video meetings using Psychology Today's secure video services. I invite you to contact me if you have any questions, or are interested in learning more. To get started, you can learn more about me here or you can call or email. There is no time like the present to get you to feeling better
Brandon Chatfield, Licensed Professional Counselor, Doctor of Health Sciences
Are you feeling like something is lacking in your life? Do you want more from your day to day existence? Is depression, anxiety, stress and low self confidence a constant gnawing in the back of your mind? Are you tired of feeling this way? Therapy can help you throw off these self made manacles. You can gain a sense of resilience in the face of hardship to the point where you conquer and truly begin to fulfill your potential. You can create a vast sense of meaning and purpose in life that not only carries you through but makes you effective, overflowing with energy and vitality.
My name is Brandon and I am a cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT) who helps people realize their potential. You don't have to suffer in silence waiting for things to get better. Fortunately, we have tools that help develop a greater sense of wellness. Using your strengths and effective goal setting, you can live with confidence, peace, and wellbeing.
The process of therapy can be very helpful in treating a variety of issues that get in the way of fulfilling your potential. Everyone wants to live their best life and tailoring a treatment strategy to your specific needs can go a long way in developing the confidence and resilience to overcome life’s challenges. Call me today for a free consultation.
Lauren Harrigian, Licensed Associate
Empowerment is something that many of us struggle to understand and find in our lives. Through motivational interviewing I will help you discover your talents and abilities. We will then use that to find self confidence. I want to help you find YOUR voice, I know that the person inside of you has a lot to say and I want you to be heard. From a personal standpoint, I feel passionately about helping the LGBTQ community. I am an advocate for LGBTQ beliefs and rights and I love working with individuals and families that are navigating their own journeys.
Additionally, I love working with athletes and military families. As an athlete and military child myself, I want to help my clients as they recover from injuries, work through high demand athletic situations, navigate relationships, and how to overcome family pressure. I think it is very important to provide that openness and care one might need in the most toughest times. As someone who has navigated my own transitions--not just with gender, but just in life, I can do my best to help you become your best.
I enjoy working with the following populations and communities:
- LGBTQ Elders (65+)
- Adults (21+)
- Teens (13+)
- Gay Allied
- Intersex Allied
- Lesbian Allied
- Non-Binary Allied
- Open Relationships Non-Monogamy
- Queer Allied
- Transgender Allied
