Dr. Benjamin Wilson, LMHC

Dr. Benjamin Wilson is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Indiana with 14 years of clinical experience. He works with adults on addictions, mood disorders, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues around life purpose. He also addresses codependency, process and substance-related addictions, and problems with intimacy and communication.

He uses clear, practical talk in sessions. He leans on client-centered work to follow what matters to the person. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and patterns. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people need direct support to change behavior.

Benjamin trained in counselor education and supervision and has experience both providing direct care and teaching other clinicians. His background includes work on addiction-focused committees and exam panels. He also brings personal experience in long-term recovery, which he says informs how he approaches addiction and co-occurring conditions.

In sessions he often combines reflective listening with hands-on tools. That can include learning skills to manage anxiety or mood swings, planning steps to reduce substance use, and practicing communication strategies for strained relationships. He describes his work as collaborative, with attention to immediate problems and longer-term questions about meaning and purpose.

Outside clinical work he teaches at the college level and contributes to addiction policy and education efforts. He lives in Hamilton County, Indiana, and mentions time spent gardening and playing guitar as ways he rests and resets.
