Benson Bernard

Benson Bernard, LMHC, understands the profound journey individuals embark on when seeking change. He often asks, "If someone could change three things about themselves, what would those be and how committed are they to making those changes?" This question opens the door to recognizing the areas in life that require attention. Many acknowledge their struggles, yet it takes true courage to engage in the hard work necessary for transformation. Benson believes that living life as a winner is akin to embarking on an adventure—one that requires guidance and therapeutic support. He is dedicated to helping clients harness the power within themselves. With extensive experience working with individuals facing a spectrum of challenges including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, substance use, family conflicts, and racial identity issues, he adopts an integrative approach grounded in evidence-based practices. His methods encompass CBT, ACT, DBT, and various mindfulness techniques. In therapy with Benson, clients have the autonomy to direct their own journey. They will be encouraged to face challenges while developing the goals for treatment and determining their own course of action to achieve those goals. His mission is to equip clients with the necessary skills to help them navigate through life's complexities.
