What should a new client know about working with you?
Hi, I’m Benjamin. I'm a queer-affirming, trauma-informed mental health counselor offering therapy across New York State. I help individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about who they are or what they need—especially those navigating identity, trauma, and relationships. Many of my clients are adults working through the impact of past trauma, anxiety, shame, or disconnection from themselves or others. Some come to therapy unsure of how to express their needs in relationships, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel right.
Others are exploring who they are, who they’ve been told to be, or who they want to become. If that resonates, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. My approach is relational, compassionate, and collaborative. I work from an integration of mindfulness with attachment-focused and trauma-informed therapies.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach is relational, compassionate, and collaborative. I work from an integration of mindfulness with attachment-focused and trauma-informed therapies.
If you're curious about working together, I offer a free 15-minute consultation. I'd love to meet with you.

- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
More information on payments and coverage
My practice offers an honor-based sliding scale ranging from $125-$195. This means that I will not ask for proof of income or other documentation of financial hardship, but will ask that you pay the highest rate that you can afford based on your financial circumstances.
Please note: All couples therapy is strictly private-pay. I practice Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), meaning I treat your relationship as the client. Health insurance companies operate on a medical model; to cover therapy, they require me to diagnose one partner with a psychiatric disorder (like anxiety or depression) to prove the treatment is medically necessary. Because the focus is on resolving relationship distress rather than treating an individual's illness, EFT couples therapy does not meet insurance criteria for medical necessity.

Benjamin Carter is one of the kindest, warmest, most emotionally intelligent people I've met. He makes you feel safe while also pushing you to grow, creating a space to think deeply about aligning your life with your personal values. He makes it possible to open up about anything and helps you reclaim your strengths and sense of purpose. While we work through the hard things, he also has a great sense of humor and we laugh a lot.

I consider myself someone who can recognize when a person has genuine energy and kindness. From the moment I met Benjamin, that stood out immediately. If I had to describe him in one word, it would be empathetic. It’s a rare quality, and he embodies it in the way he listens, understands, and supports without judgment. I truly admire and respect that, and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a thoughtful and compassionate professional

I cannot recommend Benjamin Carter highly enough. From the moment that I met him I felt that he was inviting, caring and so attuned to what I was sharing. His keen insights and ability to make me feel heard, understood and important were very impacting for me. I came away from each visit with him feeling encouraged, carrying more hope and empowered with clear, forward moving steps to implement in my everyday life. As a result I have grown in confidence, experienced numerous breakthroughs in my relationships and actually feel more joy in my life than I can remember in a very long time.
