01 / Notice
The first session is description, not advice. What is actually happening, in ordinary words, with no diagnosis attached to it.
02 / Trace
We work backwards from the thing you noticed to the structure producing it: how the week is built, what you have agreed to, what you stopped questioning.
03 / Hold
Then one change, small enough to survive a bad month, and enough sessions to find out whether it held.
A block of six sessions, sixty minutes each, two weeks apart. Between them you get written notes: what we said, what you are trying, what to watch. Online, or in person in Albuquerque.
6 sessions / 60 min / English or Spanish
Longer work, for something that has been in place for years. Four weeks describing, four weeks changing one thing, four weeks finding out whether it held.
12 weeks / 8 sessions / notes between each
Half a day with eight to twenty people on workload, recovery and attention. At your office or online. No role play, no trust exercises.
Half day / 8 to 20 people / on site or online
Support through a change already underway: a new role, a move, a household that has just reorganised itself around someone else.
3 sessions / 60 min / across six weeks
After a programme ends, one session a month for as long as it stays useful. Same person, no starting over, no re-explaining.
1 session a month / 60 min / stop whenever
Prices depend on the format and the length. Ask and you get a figure in the reply, not a form.
Founder, Ben Biao Patterns LLC
I work with people on the structure of their week, not on their feelings about it. Sessions are conversations with notes: you describe what is happening, we find what keeps producing it, and you change one thing at a time. I work in English and in Spanish, online and in Albuquerque. I am not a doctor, a therapist or a nutritionist, and the scope note below says so in more detail.

Practice
Sixty minutes, by video or in person, with nothing to fill in beforehand. You talk, I ask, we write down two or three things. Afterwards you get a short written summary: what you said, what you decided, what to look at before next time. Sessions are never recorded.
Scope
This is not medical care, psychotherapy, counselling or nutrition advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a condition. If what you describe belongs with a clinician, I will say so in the first session and stop.
Read the full scope noteNo. Therapy treats a condition; this does not. We work on how your week is built and what it is doing to you. If what you describe belongs with a therapist or a doctor, I will tell you in the first session.
Yes. Sessions, written notes and email are all available in Spanish or English, and you can switch between them at any point. Both are working languages of this practice.
It depends on the format and the length. Rather than post a figure you have to reverse-engineer, write with what you are looking for and the price comes back in the reply.
Both. Online by video from anywhere; in person in Albuquerque by arrangement. Team workshops are delivered on site or online.
Unknown, and anyone who gives you a number for this is guessing. The block of six exists because that is roughly how long it takes to tell whether a change is holding or is just still new.
It stays between us. Sessions are not recorded. Written notes go to you, and are kept only for as long as you are working with the practice unless you ask for them to be deleted sooner. The privacy policy sets out the detail.
Yes. Half a day for eight to twenty people. Say how large the group is, whether it is on site or online, and what has prompted it, and a plan and a figure come back.
Yes, with at least 48 hours' notice, at no cost. Inside 48 hours the session counts as used unless something has genuinely gone wrong. The terms say the same thing at greater length.
Sessions, written notes and correspondence in English or Spanish, and you can change your mind. The Spanish on this site was written for it, not run through a machine.
You leave with a short summary in writing: what you said, what you decided, what to watch. You are not relying on your memory of a conversation you had while tired.
The scope note on this site says in plain language what this practice does not do, and when you will be referred elsewhere. It is not buried in the small print.
Work is sold as a block of sessions with an end date. There is no rolling charge, no membership, and nothing to remember to cancel.
Say what is happening and what you have already tried. Javier reads and answers these himself.
