LPC, 11 years of experience
Hi. And welcome. I'm glad you're here. My name is Dr. Bentley Eskridge. I am a licensed professional counselor in PA and NJ. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression, specifically related to racialized experiences. I work to provide treatment specifically tailored to my clients' needs through an integration of person-centered therapy, relational therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and liberation therapy. I've been in practice for over 10 years with experience in inpatient, outpatient, and community based settings.
Our first session is just getting to know each other. I'm a therapist but I'm still a stranger! I'll ask questions about you, your history, and what's bringing you into therapy. You'll be able to ask me questions about my experience and practice. Finally, we'll start to identify areas that you'd like to focus on in therapy.
I am the therapy expert, but I trust you as the expert of your life and needs. I'm honest, and I will let you know when something is a barrier or roadblock to your goals.
I work with people ages 13 through adulthood who are experiencing disruption in their lives due to trauma, anxiety, and depression.
I have training in TF-CBT which I use integrated with other models and interventions to provide client specific treatment.
As a culturally competent and trained clinician, I create space and provide treatment for those who are working to navigate racial trauma.
