Welcome.

Hello, and welcome to my practice!

I'm Ben (he/him) and I am a licensed independent social worker (LICSW) in MA (license #115455) and I offer compassionate custom-tailored individual and couples therapy to people seeking to make meaning of their experiences, to advance their self-understanding, and to improve the quality of their lives. I am also an AASECT-certified sex therapist who helps clients improve their sexual relationship with themselves and others. I am sex literate, kink- and poly-/ENM friendly. My expertise includes working with trauma survivors, individuals in LGBTQI+ communities, gender-specific work, male survivors of sexual violence, sexual compulsivity (also referred to as Out of Control Sexual Behavior/OCSB or historically called sex addiction), & HIV/AIDS.  My approach is relational and warm, primarily from a strengths-based psychodynamic perspective with behavioral interventions drawing from CBT/DBT and mindfulness practice. I use an interactive style to help you clarify the root of struggles, identify barriers, and create pathways to move forward.

I work primarily with adults across the lifespan- individuals, couples, and groups.  I also provide clinical consultation as well as clinical supervision and sex therapy supervision for those seeking AASECT certification.

Interventions are custom-tailored to your needs, including ongoing supportive therapy, shorter-term solution-focused therapy, & focused therapy around gender/sexuality issues (ex: coming out, transition, sexual difficulties). I believe in holistic approaches to health and encourage a balance of physical, spiritual, medical, and therapeutic interventions.

Please peruse this site for more detail about the services I provide and feel free to contact me for more information.

I currently have availability in my practice Monday through Friday, serving Clients based in MA.
