Thank you for visiting my website and taking the time to research this important decision. My name is Ben Seigler and I have lived in the Yuba/Sutter area for more than 27 years. I have been working with children and families for more than 21 years and I have a passion for working with people and helping seemingly helpless situations turn into incredible life-changing experiences. I also enjoy helping strong willed children to guide that strong will in a direction to help them succeed. I consider myself a life-long learner and am constantly attending training and seminars in order to stay on the cutting edge of the field of therapy so that I can bring the best, most advanced and research based proven techniques into my therapy sessions. Providing treatment is more than a job or career for me, it’s a calling. I consider it a tremendous honor to sit with people and hear their stories, never judging and always hoping to be part of the solution.
Besides just providing therapy treatment to families or people like yourself, I also enjoy teaching others how to do quality therapy as well. I am a CAMFT certified therapist Supervisor and I generally have at least two interns who are in the process of obtaining licensure working in my practice. I interview all potential applicants and only select the very best of the best to come in and represent our team.
I have over nine years of experience working in residential treatment and nearly five of that working in a level 14 residential facility with some of the most difficult behaviors in the state of California. I also have over 8 years of experience providing therapy services to children in schools and families in their homes, and four years of experience working with children in the foster care system.
I also have extensive training in both adult and child/adolescent grief counseling. I received certification in both in 2013. I also attended the Summer Institute training at the Dougy Center in Portland. With this training, I created a children’s bereavement program with Sutter North Medical foundation where I provided free grief counseling to over 300 children and family members over a three-year period.
When I’m not providing therapy services in my private practice, I work with the students and staff at Marysville Joint Unified School District providing therapy to some of the more difficult cases, working with families, consulting with principals, teachers, school psychologists and providing trainings to district employees on handling crisis situations and aggressive behaviors. My extensive knowledge of the education system provides me an advantage when working with families who have a child in Special Education. I also work with the students and staff at Wheatland High School in a consultation capacity while my interns provide the mental health services to the students.
In 2015 I was invited to teach at Yuba College, another thing that I love to do. I gladly accepted and periodically I teach Psychology courses as an adjunct professor.
As a student in college, I attended Yuba College before transferring to Chico State. While at Yuba College, I was selected for two Outstanding Student of the Year awards. While at Chico State, I participated in two honors programs and was inducted into three honor societies including Phi Kappa Phi, and graduated at the top of my class. I have completed all of my course work for my doctoral degree and am currently writing my dissertation on the effectiveness of psychoeducation in therapy.
