Benjamin Cook

In working with individuals and couples I establish a relaxed space to see clearly. We collaborate on your objectives and overcome what stands between you and what you want. We look at what you have learned and what that learning means to you. It also means searching for your own meaning in a comfortable environment where you feel safe exploring your life. While I enjoy helping in all circumstances I have a special interest in overcoming trauma, men finding rewarding expression of their nature, and questions of meaning. I am a native born Oregonian and have lived in the Portland area for most of my life. This profession came to me after decades of fighting to understand life and its meaning. I have struggled with fantastic disappointments and navigated both healthy and harmful relationships.  In the process I learned a lot.  You already know a lot and working together we will discover new ideas and understanding that free you to grasp even more firmly the life you want to lead.
