About me

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.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

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.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

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.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work with people ages 13 through adulthood who are experiencing disruption in their lives due to trauma, anxiety, and depression.
