Getting to know Benjamin Kessler

Do you ever feel like life is moving quickly and it can be hard to catch up and slow down? Do things seem overwhelming or stressful in your life? Are there a lot of changes happening, and you aren't sure how to navigate them? Asking for help can be challenging and intimidating; however, it is a big first step! I work collaboratively with people to help sort through challenges or internal self-talk that can sometimes interfere with relationships, work, or day-to-day tasks. I create a non-judgmental environment to hold space where defenses can be let down and you can truly be yourself. I have experience working with a variety of people who all have different journeys and am passionate about helping people work through their journeys. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Bryn Mawr College, which has equipped me with the skills to support individuals through their unique challenges.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
