Benjamin Hillyard, MED

I’ve gone through a lot of therapists and they all seemed... well, creepy to be honest. But then I met Ben and he’s got this great dad vibe (in the best way possible) and he listens to everything you say with attentiveness and asks the right questions when you want him to and helps you without you even realizing it. I have a very weird and unique humor and dialogue and he just gets it. He jokes with me back and suddenly my problems seem a little less overwhelming. It usually takes people months to acclimate to me. I am usually really anxious meeting new people but the minute I walked into his office I wasn’t scared of therapists anymore because I could tell he was a regular human who I can be myself with. All in all, I recommend him wholeheartedly. For the record, I am a 14 year old.

Ben was very attentive and friendly. He was very punctual at each appointment and listened well both in office as an advocate for my son at school.

We've seen a few counselors so far, and to date my son has not been willing to engage with any of them. Ben was able to quickly gain my son's confidence, and there was more dialogue in 15 minutes between Ben and my son than in all of the other meetings combined. So far so good...
