About
Transforming lives through the power of renewed minds, Ben Thompson, LMFT, is a dedicated Licensed Marital and Family Therapist who guides individuals, couples, and families towards fuller, more vibrant experiences of life, relationships, and spirituality. Drawing inspiration from Romans 12:2, Ben's foundational approach to counseling emphasizes the transformative potential of mental renewal, encouraging clients to break free from worldly patterns that may be holding them back.
With a Bachelor of Arts degree in Bible and Ministry from Oklahoma Christian University and a Master's degree in counseling from the Harding School of Theology in Memphis, TN, Ben brings a unique blend of spiritual insight and professional expertise to his practice. His educational background equips him with a deep understanding of both theological principles and effective counseling techniques, allowing him to offer comprehensive support to clients seeking growth in personal, relational, and spiritual dimensions.
Ben specializes in working with couples who are committed to enhancing their relationships. He helps partners identify and overcome behaviors that may be hindering their marital satisfaction, guiding them towards reclaiming the marriage they once dreamed of. His approach involves fostering greater love, respect, and enjoyment between partners. Additionally, Ben works with individuals seeking personal, relational, and spiritual growth, creating a supportive environment where clients can explore and overcome their challenges.
Known for his willingness to challenge clients' perceptions and limiting beliefs, Ben employs a combination of empathy and humor to facilitate meaningful change. His therapeutic style is both supportive and gently confrontational, encouraging clients to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new perspectives. This balanced approach helps create a safe space for growth while also promoting active engagement in the therapeutic process.
When not in the counseling room, Ben cherishes time with his wife of 15 years and their daughters. His commitment to enjoying life to the fullest extends beyond his professional practice, as evidenced by his willingness to make pancakes in whatever shapes his daughters request – a small but telling detail that speaks to his dedication to family and his ability to find joy in life's simple pleasures. This personal touch not only humanizes Ben as a therapist but also reflects his belief in the importance of strong family bonds and creating positive experiences in everyday life.
