He/Him/His Licensed Professional Clinical CounselorEducation
Master of Arts degree in Counseling - Multnomah University
Clinical Approach
Life is constantly changing, rarely leaving sufficient space to step back and understand the patterns that keep us feeling stuck. Therapy with Ben is a collaborative, safe environment designed to help you pause, gently untangle chronic stress, and naturally build a life aligned with what matters most to you. Ben is a deeply engaged, reflective therapist who specializes in helping individuals navigate complex psychological barriers with patience and clarity. With over 10 years of clinical experience, he blends a compassionate, client-centered focus with evidence-based tools to help you reclaim your emotional well-being.
Ben specializes in utilizing mindfulness-based approaches to help adults effectively navigate the heavy cycles of depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive loops (OCD). Rather than getting continuously overwhelmed by painful thoughts, feelings, or old triggers, his approach guides you to relate to your mind more flexibly so you can live with greater presence and ease. His work emphasizes your innate wisdom and capability, creating a non-judgmental container to process severe stress, difficult life transitions, and the lingering emotional weight of trauma.
To foster lasting healing, Ben integrates advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma recovery and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for anxiety and OCD support. Having refined his skills across diverse outpatient settings—including university counseling, community mental health, and hospital systems—he brings a seasoned, compassionate perspective to your care. Outside the office, Ben recharges by spending time with his family, reading, experiencing nature, and running in his spare time.

Melissa Pavlik
MA, LMFTMelissa Pavlik MA, LMFT
She/Her/Hers Licensed Marriage and Family TherapistEducation
Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy - St. Mary’s University of Minnesota
Clinical Approach
Everyone comes to therapy for their own reasons. Often someone is feeling stuck and struggling to see their options, tired of doing the same things. I am passionate about meeting clients where they are in their process, providing a safe space to collaborate with them to discover options and create new ways to be. I believe when given the space, people will move towards growth as they acknowledge their needs. Throughout your time in therapy, we can explore your experiences, past and present, and work towards doing things differently, whatever that means for you.
I work from a strength-based, trauma-informed, systemic approach. My experience working in high schools brings a unique experience working with adolescents, as well as, with teachers. The areas I work with are anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction and recovery, family issues, attachment, life transitions, parenting, issues of adolescence and identity development, gender and sexuality, and self-acceptance.
