Benjamin Layne is a former theatre producer and director, currently pursuing his Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota.

Ben is dedicated to helping people build positive relationships, achieve goals, and better understand and experience themselves and their world in new and creative ways. Ben will work with you to build a therapeutic process that resonates with you, to help you meet your needs, foster healthier relationships, and find ways to cope with the challenges (and success) life brings to all of us.
