Benjamin Livesay

Benjamin Livesay is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Arkansas with nine years of clinical experience. He supports people facing a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and career-related issues. His work also addresses areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, communication problems, control issues, and substance or process addictions.

He approaches each person as an individual rather than a collection of symptoms. He frames many struggles as adaptive responses developed to survive difficult circumstances and believes those patterns can be understood, gently replaced, and reshaped to better fit a new season of life. This perspective guides how he listens and how he collaborates on next steps.

Livesay aims to understand the practical and emotional elements of a person’s situation and to co-create a plan to move toward the life they want. He holds professional licensure and draws on nearly a decade of practice working with varied concerns, including first responder issues, men's issues, young adult challenges, and recovery from addictive behaviors. He looks forward to partnering with people ready to explore change.
