Hello, My name is Ben and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Pennsylvania. I am currently providing virtual individual psychotherapy for adults residing in the state of Pennsylvania. I utilize a variety of approaches to counseling, often pulling from multiple theories depending on client's needs. I will often use a person-centered approach to therapy as a foundation and incorporate Psychoanalytic, CBT, and Experiential methods when appropriate.
In our first session, I would like to get to know you a bit. I would like to know what brought you to therapy at this point in your life. I will ask about your relationships with people currently in your life and I will ask about your past relationships with family, friends, and partners. I will also ask about other aspects of your life that would be important for me to know so I can provide the best treatment.
I am easy to talk to, very approachable, and have a good sense of humor. I try to find a good balance of showing my authentic self while maintaining boundaries with clients so they can receive the most effective care.
I utilize an individualized approach to psychotherapy by adapting to the unique needs of each patient. I often use aspects of Psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered therapy, and Experiential therapy.
