Ben researches and specializes in treating individuals who are both high-achieving and who experience significant distress.
He uses a combination of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapy to address both the “everyday stuff” and the deeper-level strivings for fulfillment.
Ben also integrates films into the therapy process to open up one’s sense of self awareness of how they function internally and in the world. This brings creativity and a broader range of expression outside the therapy room.
