Benjamin MacDonald LCPC-c, NCC

I’m a conditionally licensed clinical professional counselor committed to helping individuals, couples, and families learn how to build healthier relationships with each other. Our work together will be collaborative and strengths based to help you reach your goals. I only utilize evidence based methodologies and interventions to help you in determining where you want to be in a healthy and balanced life. I also want to emphasize that in counseling, it is NOT "one size fits all". Working together in therapy starts with building a relationship with each other to establish trust and a solid foundation for therapy in order to make progress. I realize that not everyone is going to find my therapeutic style to their liking, and I respect that. Please send me a request for a free 15-minute consultation, and we can have a conversation around if and how we can work together towards your goals. A little bit about me, I hold a bachelors degree in developmental psychology (magna cum laude) from LU, and a masters degree in clinical mental health counseling (summa cum laude) from LU. I am also a national certified counselor by the National Board for Certified Counselors. I am a member of Chi Sigma Iota (National Counseling Honor Society), and Psi Chi (International Honor Society in Psychology). I have previous experience in outpatient therapy, and home & community treatment. At this time, I am not accepting insurance, only cash pay clients. However, you can get a superbill from your client portal to seek reimbursement from your insurance company. Session fees are due immediately following the end of our session. Acceptable forms of payment are credit/debit cards, and also HSA/FSA cards. My plan is to start accepting certain insurance carriers (including Mainecare/Medicare) after I am fully licensed later this year. If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with me, please send an appointment request! I am looking forward to meeting you and being involved in your journey towards a healthier and more balanced life!
