Hi! I’m Ben Wall
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Missouri with a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I specialize in working with kids, families, and adults.
I’ve spent the past 13 years working professionally as a Family Therapist in Private Practice and Community Mental Health.
Much of my work has centered around children and adolescents that have experienced trauma or family crisis.
Hello! I’m Michaela Feeney
I’m a Provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC) in the state of Missouri under the Licensed Supervision of Ben Wall, LPC# 2015026369. I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
For the past three years, I have worked in Community Mental Health specializing in adolescents, adults, and couples.
WHO WE WORK WITH
KIDS AND FAMILIES:
We work with families to help both parents and kids improve their communication, emotional regulation, conflict resolution, and coping skills.
Coaching parents in developing the skills necessary to address chronic behavior problems with their children.
Guiding parents in learning effective ways to support their children’s mental health, create a nurturing family atmosphere and promote an emotionally healthy lifestyle.
TEENS AND ADULTS:
Assist teens and adults as they work through crisis situations or big life changes.
Work to support individuals as they learn new coping skills to address anxiety, depression, addiction behavior, eating disorders, postpartum adjustments, grief and trauma/PTSD.
Helping couples practice healthy communication and problem solving.
The backyard area at Ashland Family Counseling is great for kids to use during a session.
Ashland Family Counseling was created to serve the people of the Mid-Missouri Community.
Approach to counseling
For some people, therapy is a launching pad. When they get the support that they need, they are better equipped to handle the rest of their week.
For others, therapy is a laboratory. A place where they’re figuring out solutions to the problems they’re facing in their lives.
For some, it’s like a gym. They practice new skills, gain new strengths, and work hard to accomplish their goals.
In our work, we use a person-centered, strengths-based approach in a collaborative relationship with you.
In other words:
While we’ll have an opinion about what we think might help, you will be the one that chooses the focus of our counseling.
We will be looking at something to head towards and not just something to move away from. You might say, “I’m tired of being sad,” but one of our first tasks will be to figure out what you want to feel instead of sad. That will be our goal of treatment.
Counseling is going to be one part of your life, for a time, then WE’ll be sending you on your way to keep learning and growing.
