Ben Fraundorf, L.P.C.

I aim to come alongside a person in their journey and help them clarify their perspective of their lives and future.

I like a mixture of connectedness to self, nature and others in my life. I grew up in small-town Wisconsin, where it was common to see more animals than people and trees than buildings. I found ongoing adventure later in life by moving west to Portland, Oregon, for my graduate studies and came to appreciate the diversity of experiences I have gathered along the way.
