I am Dr. Benjamin T. Finlayson, PhD, LMFT-S, a relational and couples therapist specializing in LGBTQIA+ affirming care. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating relationship challenges, communication difficulties, identity exploration, and life transitions. My clients often seek deeper connection, stronger communication, and practical tools to build healthier, more satisfying relationships while feeling truly understood and supported in therapy.

I use evidence-based methods including EFT, SFBT, and relational approaches to support clients through relationship growth, conflict resolution, identity exploration, career and family transitions, and personal enrichment. Clients can expect practical tools, compassionate guidance, and strategies to foster meaningful, lasting change.

Seeking support can feel challenging, but you don't have to navigate it alone. I am committed to creating a safe, affirming space where you feel seen and valued. When you're ready, I welcome the opportunity to support you in deepening connection, enhancing communication, and cultivating fulfilling relationships.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, family conflict, and life's many transitions. My approach is strength-based, holistic, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients build resilience, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Columbia University and have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). Throughout my career, I have supported individuals and families facing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is built on trust, collaboration, and connection. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore your experiences. Together, we will build on your strengths, navigate life's challenges, and work toward goals that align with your values.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with 7 years of experience helping teens and adults navigate anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and personality-related challenges. My goal is to help clients recognize patterns, build emotional awareness, and develop practical tools for growth. I bring humor, honesty, and compassion into each session, meeting clients where they are while helping them move toward where they want to be.

I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Mississippi College. My approach blends evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and reality therapy with a relational, down-to-earth style. I believe healing happens through connection, accountability, and genuine collaboration.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel uncertain, but you don’t have to do it alone. I strive to create a supportive and empowering space where clients can feel understood, build confidence, and grow at their own pace. Healing begins with the courage to reach out.
