Ben Campbell

I am passionate about supporting adults in transitioning from crisis and dysregulation to self-trust, resilience, and embodied ease. My clinical training goals include mastering trauma-informed modalities (EMDR, parts work) and mindfulness-based approaches (ACT, somatic techniques) to foster holistic healing. I seek mentorship in these areas to integrate wisdom with evidence-based practice
