Therapy for artists, activists, and the LGBTQ+ community in-person in Philadelphia, or virtually throughout Pennsylvania
Hi, I’m Ben.
The world today can be a confusing, troubling, and upsetting place. Whether you are feeling depressed, alone, or a sense of existential dread, therapy is a space to share your feelings with an emotionally engaged listener, and to find some relief. Together we will work to help you find your way in the world, including the areas in life in which you might be getting in your own way. As a therapist, I listen for underlying patterns and dynamics from earlier in your life, as well as for the ways in which experiences of oppression might be impacting you.
I have supported people struggling with a wide variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, as well as bipolar disorder, people on the borderline spectrum, and psychosis.
If you're wondering what therapy with me might be like, or if you'd like to learn more, please reach out for a free 15-20 minute consultation. Don't hesitate to inquire about my sliding scale if you are exploring the option of beginning therapy but have financial need.
Does any of this resonate with you?
You’re navigating how past trauma and relationships shape your present.
You want a politically engaged, social justice-oriented therapist.
You feel overwhelmed by stress, burnout, or activist fatigue.
You need a queer and trans-affirming therapist who truly understands.
You’re seeking support for psychosis with collaborative psychiatric care.
If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Let’s figure it out together.
My practice focus...
Mental health is complex, and struggles like anxiety and depression often intertwine with activism, creativity, and identity. While my practice focuses on certain identities, I recognize that many people experiencing more acute mental health concerns can benefit from my affirming and nonjudgmental approach. I offer a space where you can explore any challenges with greater ease and understanding, and I welcome anyone looking for meaningful support.
