Getting to know Benjamin Ramos Anderson

I operate from a steady belief that you are the true expert on your own life. Rather than acting as an unapproachable authority, I view therapy as a true collaboration, combining your self-knowledge with my clinical experience to ease life’s burdens and uncover your path forward. Throughout my career, I have dedicated my practice to standing alongside marginalized and underserved communities. Over the past ten years, my work as a psychotherapist, case manager, and supervisor has allowed me to care for individuals from ages 5 to 80. I have provided therapeutic support and advocacy across community mental health hubs, school systems, immigration nonprofits, and special needs foster care networks. I bring extensive experience supporting unaccompanied immigrant families navigating displacement, as well as partnering with remote Indigenous communities confronting ongoing colonization and systemic oppression. As I am fluent in Spanish and English, I offer a welcoming space where you can express yourself in whichever language feels most comfortable. I have dedicated experience guiding neurodivergent youth and adults to build sustainable routines, and supporting LGBTQ+ teens while coming out and adults navigating major life transitions. I bring a trauma-informed, identity-affirming lens to my practice, informed by my own lived experience as a queer individual with ADHD. My diverse clinical background equips me to support you through a wide range of mental health struggles and life shifts. I specialize in trauma-informed care with dedicated training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Because of my background in social work, I bring practical tools, resource connections, and actionable guidance to help you navigate your unique challenges.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I view therapy as a collaborative space. You are the expert on your own lived experience, history, and goals; my role is to bring clinical skill, practical tools, and evidence-based strategies to support you. We will work side by side to understand what you are facing, ease life’s burdens, and chart a path forward that aligns with your values.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We begin with an intake session focused on understanding what brings you in, your background, and what you hope to get out of therapy. This is also a low-pressure opportunity for us to see if we are a good fit to work together. Together, we outline clear, meaningful goals tailored to your unique needs, whether that is managing trauma, establishing neurodivergent-friendly routines, navigating identity, or finding stability during a major life shift. Periodically, we pause to evaluate how you feel therapy is going, celebrate growth, and adapt our approach or goals as your life and needs evolve. In regular sessions (typically weekly or biweekly), we combine reflective dialogue with active skill-building. We will explore thought patterns, process feelings, practice tools, and refine practical strategies for everyday life.
