Getting to know Dr. Jason Bendezu
I specialize in helping youth, young adults, couples, and families find meaningful direction in navigating difficulties with anxiety, depression, oppositional and defiant behavior, obsessive and compulsive behavior, as well as trauma. I hold a PhD in Child Psychology from The Pennsylvania State University, a Master’s in Clinical Developmental Psychology from Tufts University, and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I approach therapy with genuine curiosity, humbly meeting prospective clients where they are, validating those life experiences that bring our clients into therapy, and learning more about the tool kits, supports and resources clients have used thus far to steer them through stressful experiences and uncomfortable thoughts and feelings.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Therapy is not just about reducing stress or managing symptoms. My belief is that therapy also involves creating a fruitful space for discovering personal values (i.e., self-guiding principles that give direction in life), exploring your identity (i.e., sense of self), and developing your own unique set of coping skills for living life in value- and identity- consistent ways.

Dr. Cancelled a day after booking appointment. Hours before appointment, costing me an unpaid day off and wasted hours of my time filling out needless paperwork and non HIPPA compliant surveys.
