About Benjamin
He believes each person knows their story best and brings out existing strengths to meet current challenges. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room to process emotions and to try new ways of handling problems. He uses clear techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and he helps people make sense of painful memories when those have a hold on daily life.
Benjamin’s background includes more than a decade of practice as a licensed independent clinical social worker. Over that time he has supported people facing relationship difficulties, parenting strain, addiction concerns, anger, and career stress. He combines focused skills with attention to each person’s experience rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
In the first few meetings he will work with a client to set practical goals and identify what to try next. Follow-up sessions tend to mix talking, skill-building, and reviewing what did or did not help. He encourages people to track small changes between sessions and adjust the approach when needed.
If you want to address mood, cope with a big life change, or process trauma, he offers direct support and collaborative care to move forward.
