Bennett Solberg
I provide a warm, collaborative space where clients can explore challenges and create lasting change. My approach blends cognitive-behavioral therapy with holistic techniques such as biofeedback, hypnosis, virtual reality therapy, and psychophysiology to support emotional and physical well-being.
For clients interested in creative or alternative methods, I’m certified in the Geek Therapy model and often integrate video games, role-playing, and superhero psychology into our work.

First session
Whether you're new to therapy or returning after time away, our first meeting is designed to be grounding, respectful, and tailored to your pace. I bring a warm, structured approach that blends clinical expertise with human-centered care. In our first sessions we will cover: Getting to Know You: We'll explore what brings you in—whether it's a specific challenge, a life transition, or a desire for personal growth. Clarifying Goals: Together, we'll identify what you hope to achieve. This might include symptom relief, relationship support, trauma processing, or simply a space to think out loud. Explaining the Process: I’ll walk you through how I work. My integrative style draws from CBT, ACT, mindfulness, clinical hypnosis, Geek Therapy and sex therapy. I’ll also explain confidentiality, boundaries, and what therapy can (and can’t) offer. Setting the Tone: You’ll have space to ask questions, share concerns, and let me know what helps you feel safe and understood. I use metaphors, structured handouts, and evidence-based techniques to make complex ideas accessible. I’m direct but compassionate, and I respect your autonomy every step of the way. If something doesn’t feel right, we’ll adjust together.

With over 20 years of supporting diverse and underserved communities, I strive to create an inclusive, affirming space for all.
