Ben Schultz

I’m Ben Schultz a Marriage & Family Therapist based in Austin, TX, with a practice that serves clients across Texas, California, and Florida (yes, online too!) I believe your feelings are not the problem they are the symptom. My job is not to echo your pain back to you or dwell endlessly on the past. It’s to help you integrate your experiences into your present life, so growth actually happens. I value truth over comfort. That does not mean I’ll be harsh it means I will not let you stay stuck. If you are ready to move forward with honesty, courage, and real change, you have found the right therapist.

Quick Summary

1. You don’t have to “have it all together” to start therapy. In fact it helps if you do not.
2. I won’t pathologize your pain. Grief, anger, confusion they are signals, not flaws.
3. $170 is fair—but not final. I offer limited sliding scale spots for those in genuine need.
4. Insurance can be tricky. I will help you navigate it but only if it actually helps you.
5. Erothots isn’t a gimmick. It is a reminder your desires matter. Your truth matters. You matter.
