Based in Pennsylvania, Ben Hearn provides both in-person and virtual therapy options to adults grappling with assorted mental health illnesses. His unique practice is open to patients residing within Ohio and Pennsylvania, and includes a specialized treatment route for individuals seeking to process and incorporate their psychedelic experiences into personal growth. Even though he doesn't provide KAP services currently, if you are a prescriber that's interested in consultancy and training on a wide variety of subjects like LGBTQ+ issues, psychedelic-assisted therapies, and trauma-informed care, then he's certainly available. Ben also extends licensure supervision to counselors operating in the state of Ohio and encourages personal communication for additional details about his practice.

Ben's path towards therapy was shaped during his undergraduate studies, where he found solace in Eastern mindfulness practices while grappling with his identity as a young queer individual. These experiences merged with his academic interests in neuroscience, philosophy, metaphysics, and existentialism, driving him towards mental therapeutic contexts. Completing graduate education in mental health counseling, his passion expanded as he navigated various roles that taught him the profound impact of trauma and the innovative means to provide support. His doctoral research at the University of Cincinnati, which has culminated recently, navigates the realm of safe and fair access to psychedelic-assisted therapies, focusing particularly on naturalistic psychedelic use among queer-identifying individuals. His free time sees him enjoy woodworking, outdoor activities, and daily meditation or yoga practices, integrating spirituality into his lifestyle, thus echoing his holistic approach to therapy.
