We would like to welcome Haley!

Haley is a graduate counseling intern currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work at Liberty University. She graduated with her Bachelor’s in Developmental Psychology in August 2024, and she has an anticipated graduation date of May 2026 for her Master’s degree.

Haley has been working as an EMT during her studies and has a desire to work with first responders and children who have experienced trauma. Through her time working as a first responder, she has seen the need for more mental health resources for first responders. She is also very passionate about working with children of all ages.

Welcome to the team.....

Ben Turner

LPCA

Ben works with clients who feel stuck at a deeper level—people who sense that something important is trying to change, but don’t yet know how to meet it. Many come in feeling overwhelmed, conflicted, or quietly dissatisfied with lives that look functional on the surface.

He specializes in working with the tension between who you’ve had to be and who you might become. This often includes themes of identity, shame, unresolved trauma, existential unrest, and a sense of being on the outside looking in. Ben’s clients may not have clear words for what’s wrong, but they’re willing to sit in uncertainty long enough for something honest to emerge.

Ben’s approach is experiential and process-oriented. Drawing from Jungian psychology, hypnosis, symbolic language, existential philosophy, and systems theory, he focuses less on managing symptoms and more on helping deeper patterns reorganize. Which in return manages symptoms. Insight matters—but change often happens through experience, not explanation.

Ben has a niche with working well with adolescents and adults, creatives, spiritual seekers, and those who have been in therapy before without feeling fully seen. Therapy with Ben is not passive or formulaic—it’s collaborative, alive, and oriented toward real movement.

Ben aims is for clients to leave with greater wholeness, clarity, and the courage to live more truthfully—even if the path forward is still unfolding.“

Ben is a family man, with a lovely wife and child. Ben is currently enrolled in additional training to be a certified hypnosis therapist too!

Welcome Seth!

Seth Stephens
MS, LPCA

Hi, I’m Seth Stephens, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA). As a member of the LGBTQ community, creating a space where people feel safe, seen, and genuinely understood is deeply important to me. My goal is to make sure you feel heard, valued, and supported every step of the way.

I primarily work from a CBT and DBT approach, focusing on helping you understand patterns, learn practical skills, and build tools that support real, lasting change. I’m also A.R.T. (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) certified, which allows me to help clients process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences in a gentle, effective way.

I received my M.Ed. in Counseling from Lindsey Wilson College, and I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from many different backgrounds and life experiences. No matter what brings you to therapy, I aim to meet you with warmth, curiosity, and respect. I truly believe everyone deserves a space where they can show up authentically and begin to heal, and I’m honored to walk alongside you in that process.
