Stephen Benson approaches psychotherapy with a keen interest in how thoughts, feelings, actions, and relationships interact interdependently. When his therapeutic work goes well, he and his clients experience mutual emotional movement and joy, discovering new ways to feel fulfilled and learn from their experiences. He adapts his therapeutic style to accommodate each client relationship, utilizing a talk therapy approach that occasionally incorporates elements of art, play, and writing. Stephen encourages clients to explore fresh pathways for resolution and realization in their lives. He is particularly attentive to how individuals respond to challenges and is steadfast in ensuring that his practices are comfortable, meaningful, and effective. With a foundation in psychodynamic relational psychotherapy, informed by mindfulness practice, non-directive play therapy, structural family therapy, cognitive behavioral skills building, and insights from contemporary neuroscience, his sessions may involve dialogues, drawing, or games, all while assessing clients' needs and obstacles while keeping a focus on the goals that clients communicate the meaning and value of. With two decades of experience working with children, teens, adults, seniors, families, couples, and parents, Stephen fosters understanding, change, and the identification of simple, practical steps to recovery through dialogue and an encouraging connection. His emphasis on connection, creativity, and harmony serves as a cornerstone for effective recovery.
