I can’t recommend Ben highly enough I went to see him with acute perimenopausal symptoms including insomnia, night sweats, anxiety, irregular and missed menstrual cycles, and more. Within just a few sessions, I felt and continue to feel so much better. Also, Ben is the first person I’ve seen that I really felt listened to me, understood how I was feeling, and had a clear plan on how to make me feel better. So grateful to have found him.
