"A lot of us find ourselves asking 'why am I like this?' and we often see it's because we never developed appropriate coping skills for uncomfortable emotions.

Taratuta Counseling is incredibly important to creating a safe and non-judgemental place where empathy and connection can be made. Helping clients address difficulties with self-worth, body image, maladaptive thinking, negative core beliefs, dependency, anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma are some of the major focus of Ben's work. Ben's background involves residential treatment for mental health issues, disordered eating, and substance abuse. In these different settings, Ben developed an ability to connect and understand individuals with all kinds of experiences, diagnoses, and backgrounds.
