I’m Ben "Doc" Askins, the founder of Advanced Practice Providers, and my journey into holistic healing is deeply rooted in a lifelong desire to help others. From serving as a combat medic in the military for a decade, which included a deployment to Iraq, to earning a Master of Divinity degree, my experiences have shaped a unique path in the field of wellness. These experiences led me to become a Physician Assistant, specializing in mental health and psychedelic-assisted therapy, combining my background in spirituality, psychology, and medicine to offer a comprehensive approach to healing.
My passion for alternative therapies, such as ketamine therapy, was ignited by both personal experiences and professional exposure. After witnessing the profound impact these therapies had on patients during my military and civilian medical careers, I dedicated myself to mastering these innovative treatments. Today, I strive to integrate these powerful modalities with traditional practices to provide holistic care that addresses the mind, body, and spirit.
