Benjamin Black, LCSW

Benjamin Black, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
I strive to meet clients where they are and provide a non-judgmental space to explore your desire for change. Combining elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and relational theory, I help clients connect past experiences to present behavior while working with them to develop practical solutions for daily life. This means I will occasionally disclose how I am feeling during your journey, in contrast to more traditional models in which the therapist exists as a “blank slate.” I specialize in depressed mood, relationship issues (including non-traditional dynamics), and substance use; though I have worked successfully with a range of problematic mood and thought issues. Beyond my professional training, I have personal experience with over a decade in recovery and encourage spiritual exploration, however this may define itself for you. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Maryland. I have worked with members from diverse communities and welcome clients from all orientations, identities, and ethnic backgrounds. Although working in English, I also speak conversational Tagalog and basic Cantonese.
