Ben Morrow, Therapist, LPCC (he/him)

Ben (he/him/his) is absolutely delighted to be rejoining the Whole Connection team! He completed his professional internship at WC during his final year of graduate school, and is grateful to be back. 

Ben was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. He received his BA in Drama from Vassar College, and spent a number of years working as an actor in new play development in New York City and regionally before returning to Colorado in 2015. Ben’s experiences with mental health and substance use concerns called him to shift gears and pursue therapy as a second career. He completed his graduate training at Naropa University in Boulder, CO, and holds an MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a focus in Contemplative Psychotherapy and Buddhist Psychology. Ben is a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) in Colorado, and a certified AcuDetox Specialist (ADS). 

Ben’s previous experience includes working in IOP-based addiction and mental health treatment, working with individuals recovering from psychosis and extreme states of consciousness, and outpatient services for clients using Medicaid insurance with a broad spectrum of presenting concerns. He has worked with clients in individual and group settings, across the lifespan, and with a wide range of identities. Ben feels strongly about expanding access to quality mental healthcare, and addressing and untangling systemic inequities. 

Ben’s orientation to therapy is holistic, person-centered, relational, and grounded in offering undivided presence and unconditional nonjudgement as the basis for connection and therapeutic work. He holds a view that health and clarity are inherent qualities of being a human being, no matter how obscured they may become by various causes, conditions, and confusion. Ben aspires to accompany clients into (re)discovery and alignment with the innate wisdom of their mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual realms to promote self-determination, gentleness and self-compassion, resilience, and reconnection to intrinsic health.

Ben is a fan of RuPaul’s Drag Race and Louise Erdich novels. He loves being outdoors and is an avid hiker, backpacker, camper, and goes fishing whenever he can. Ben recently reconnected with martial arts and practices Kung Fu three times a week.
