MEET THE TEAM

Benjamin Holmes, LCSW

Founder, Attending Therapist

Benjamin Holmes started his career in mental health in 2013. Working nights and weekends in private practice, on top of a full-time day job in social work, and taking a several year detour from his goal of owning his own practice, he finally acquired his clinical license in October 2020 and officially opened Benjamin Holmes Counseling (BHC) on November 1 st , 2020. At the height of the pandemic, Benjamin found himself seeing far too many clients each week, trying to keep up with the overwhelming demand for quality mental health services. In June of 2021, Benjamin hired his first two resident therapists. Benjamin Holmes Counseling currently has over 20 therapists and is proud of its highly diverse and inclusive roster of providers.
