Benjamin Aiken LLC Announces Opening of Private Psychotherapy Practice in Denver

Denver, CO, June 25, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Benjamin Aiken, MA, NCC, MBA, announces the opening of his private psychotherapy practice serving adolescents, adults, and senior adults in the Golden Triangle neighborhood of downtown Denver. New clients and client referrals are now being accepted.

A Unique, Integrated Approach to Helping

Ben’s strengths-based and action-oriented approach to helping adolescents, adults, and senior adults is centered on a culturally competent, trauma-informed, and existentially oriented approach to counseling and psychotherapy. He emphasizes the person-to-person quality of the therapeutic relationship and integrates principles and techniques of Logotherapy, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. He is also trained in the art of clinical hypnotherapy.

His integrated approach centers the person as the expert of her or his own life, and is premised on the notion that all individuals are motivated by a "will to meaning" – or by an inner pull to find meaning in their life. Through a respectful and non-blaming process, Ben’s goal is to help individuals become all that they are capable of becoming, in spite of life’s circumstances. This is accomplished by transmuting the effects of a problem by separating one’s identity from the problem for which assistance is sought and through examination of three perspectives on meaning, the most important of which is one’s own attitude and the manner in which one’s circumstances are faced.

Ben has experienced and observed that when one learns how to thrive in spite of their circumstances, the “will to become” is given new life and motivation to take meaningful action is energized on that basis.

· Dealing with the effects of anxiety, anger, depression, or co-dependency issues
