About Ben Hoogland

 

Benjamin Hoogland is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in couples and marriage counseling in MN and WI. He is the principal counselor at Twin Cities Marriage and Family Therapy.

With over 20 years experience as a individual, couples and family therapist, and as a graduate of University of Wisconsin – Stout, I am enthusiastic about helping couples learn how to create their ideal relationship. Despite what you may have heard from national experts, or your friends, it is possible. Not in the future, not with someone else…now and with your current partner/spouse.

I am married and have 4 beautiful children – all girls. I have learned through my own experiences that relationships take work, just like anything that is worthwhile. I don’t have many hobbies (see – 4 girls), but I love nature, travelling and learning – I’ll never stop learning and growing!

In addition to being a prominent relationship therapist, I have presented internationally at conferences, churches and to general audiences speaking on the topics of communication, building healthy relationships, family cohesiveness, conflict resolution and more.

I provide support and practical feedback to help individuals and couples effectively address personal and relationship challenges. I integrate cutting edge techniques built to improve your relationship and take it to places you doubted were possible. With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual, couple and family to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

Ben is now also licensed to provide individual, marriage and couples counseling virtually in Wisconsin and Minnesota (also in-person in MN).
