“I started seeing Ben Nolan for counseling about a year ago around the time of a significant loss in my family. Since then I have dealt with a variety of issues which Ben has helped with tremendously. He offers thoughtful insights with a great deal of compassion. Compared to other counselors I've had I feel he's refreshingly down to earth and not at all stoic or overly academic. I actually really look forward to our weekly sessions!”

A kind professional but often passive in his conversation and inconsistent with communication and planning.

Bentley was a very good therapist, though eventually I needed a different style therapist. He was not the most solution-oriented but he helped me talk out things and make some connections.

As a young woman, I rarely see male doctors out of fear of being subject to micro aggressions about my appearance and profession. I had high hopes for Dr. Bentley considering his great reviews. I was disappointed. He made unprofessional comments about me being "young and attractive" and subtly sexually charged comments about my profession. He also offered little to no actual psychological guidance.

Nice guy, maybe not the best doctor. He was certainly there to help, but often didn't know what to say. He was very laid back, but a but unprofessional for my liking. Not my style, I'll keep looking

Dr. Bentley is absolutely amazing! He listens. He understands. And he empathizes with you and your experiences. I was a bit reluctant to therapy but he welcomed me with open arms and encourages everyone to live beyond your experienced pain and trauma. What an amazing Doctor!!!! I look forward to continuing our sessions! Book an appointment you guys, what are you waiting for? New Year, New You!
