Individuals, Addiction, Substance Abuse

Benjamin Hampton, MA

Witnessing a client have the bravery to get vulnerable, grow, and begin to live their best life is as good as it gets for me. I needed a supportive network to help me climb out of the depths of addiction, and I am grateful for the opportunity to empower clients to take that first step toward freedom. 

Who I help:

  • Individuals

  • Adolescents

More about me

It’s a good day whenever I can get out to the golf course, especially when I focus on connecting with nature and not my score. I also love college football, the gym, and hanging out with my dog at the dog park!

Under the direct supervision of: Dr. Vanessa Snyder, LPC, LMFT LPC006659, MFT001224

How I work

My therapeutic process revolves around developing a deep connection with the client by being honest and transparent during sessions. I primarily work from an existentialist perspective but often pull techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy. So what does that mean? Clients will work toward finding meaning and purpose in life while learning healthy skills to navigate the anxieties of daily living. During the collaborative journey, clients will begin to experience newfound freedom and find what fills their emptiness within, which, for me, I have filled with drugs and alcohol for many years. 

Meet Ben

Hello, my name is Benjamin Hampton, and I am from South Georgia. I found myself at the University of Georgia, experiencing social anxiety, depression, and pressure to succeed. I felt alone, having no family support, disconnected spiritually, and so I turned to drugs and alcohol. After being lost for many years, healing finally clicked, and I have remained sober to this day. My journey led me to begin working in the addiction field and eventually acquire a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University.

I specialize in:

  • Addictions

  • Men’s Issues

  • Depression

  • Anxiety

My education + certification:

  • Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
