A Little About Ben...
You are the hero of your story, and every hero benefits from a guide. Ben Meyers, founder of Somebody Like You Mental Health Services, is that supportive guide for people ready to grow. Ben is a certified mental health coach with years of experience helping individuals turn their lives around. He’s known for being warm, non-judgmental, and genuinely caring – the kind of person who makes you feel safe the moment you start talking.
Ben’s approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. He listens first to truly understand you – your worries, hopes, and personality. Then he partners with you to create a plan that fits your life. Through 1:1 coaching sessions, he’ll help you set meaningful goals, break past self-doubt, and build habits that stick. It’s a partnership where you remain in control of your journey while Ben provides insight, encouragement, and accountability at every step.
In addition to working with individuals, Ben also consults with organizations to foster mental well-being in the workplace. He recently led a two-hour workshop at the LeadingAge PA Conference in Hershey, PA, where he guided senior living leadership teams through a powerful experience focused on alignment, emotional regulation, and leadership energy. Ben has also facilitated private keynotes and workshops for organizations and leadership teams across various industries, blending science, storytelling, and practical tools to help people lead from their best self. His approach is heartfelt, grounded, and always rooted in real-life application.
And if you’re not quite ready to dive into coaching immediately, that’s okay too. Grab our free resource, “The Best Self Blueprint,” a simple downloadable guide packed with quick tips and exercises to kickstart your journey. It’s a no-strings-attached gift from Ben... a way for you to begin making small, positive changes today, at your own pace. (You can download it anytime to get a sneak peek at the kind of helpful strategies you’ll explore more deeply in coaching.)
Frequently asked questions
Q1: What happens in the free connection call?
A: It’s a casual 15-minute chat (by phone or video – your choice) with Ben. You can share a bit about what you’re facing and ask any questions you have. Ben will listen and give you an idea of how he can help. It’s completely free, and there’s no pressure to commit to anything afterward – it’s simply a friendly conversation to explore if coaching is right for you.
Q2: Is this like therapy? How is coaching different?
A: Coaching isn’t therapy – it’s more like having a personal guide for your growth. Therapy often focuses on diagnosing and healing past issues, while coaching focuses on where you are now and how to move toward a better future. Ben isn’t a licensed therapist, so he won’t be treating mental illness. Instead, as a coach he’ll help you set goals, build healthy habits, and keep you accountable as you make positive changes. Many people who feel “stuck” but not in crisis find coaching to be a refreshing, action-oriented approach. (If you do have a serious mental health condition, you can use coaching alongside therapy, with Ben supporting your progress in between therapy sessions.)
Q3: What are the AI-powered support tools you offer?
A: The coming AI support tools are like having a 24/7 digital coach in your pocket. They’re optional, but most clients love them. Here’s how it works: Between your coaching sessions, you’ll have access to a private online chat/app that checks in on you. It might send you a quick morning mindset tip, a prompt to reflect on your day, or an encouraging reminder of the goals you’re working on. If you’re feeling low or stuck at 11 PM, you can interact with the tool for guided exercises or journaling prompts tailored to you. It’s not a human, but it’s empathetic and smart – designed to reinforce the strategies you and Ben discuss. Think of it as getting a gentle nudge or a supportive ear whenever you need it, so you maintain momentum even on days you’re not meeting with Ben.
Q4: What are the prices?
A: Coaching sessions are $100 per session. If you’re ready to commit to your growth and want a little savings, you can purchase a 4-session package for $300—that’s one session free. The 4-session package must be used in 4 consecutive weeks. There’s no pressure, just a commitment to helping you show up for yourself.
