Benjamin Wayburn

Benjamin Wayburn is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a credential that indicates professional training and state licensure to provide counseling services. With a mind-body perspective, he approaches therapy without centering the work on labels or a mental-illness framework. He focuses on how what supports the body can also support the brain, and vice versa, while keeping the person’s individuality at the heart of the process.

His style is shaped by openness and inclusivity, with an emphasis on acceptance and a nonjudgmental stance. Rather than focusing on diagnosis, he prioritizes what makes each client unique and maintains an expectation of full recovery within treatment. He tends to be a strong match for people who are choosing therapy for themselves, are open to change, and want to build resiliency, strengthen self-respect, and handle relationship challenges with more clarity and less drama.

Benjamin aims to create a steady, collaborative space. He takes notes during sessions and reads them at the end, helping consolidate key themes and next steps. Instead of traditional homework, he offers practical experiments to try between conversations. Depending on a client’s preferences, he can be more direct in clarifying goals and co-creating a treatment plan, or more non-direct and allow goals to emerge through the natural flow of dialogue. The first session typically starts with a casual greeting, then covers standard formalities about confidentiality, client rights, and risk assessment questions, followed by an opening question to begin the work.
