Getting to know Benjamin Robbins

Hi there, I'm Benjamin! As a queer therapist, I work with LGBTQIA+, kink, polyamorous, and queer folx on individual problems and relationship challenges. I walk with clients as they understand themselves and their relationships to others. Together, we uncover patterns that may no longer serve them, and move towards a life that feels more aligned, connected, and whole. My focus I specialize in treating queer, poly, and kinky folx navigating communication challenges, processing traumatic experiences, and improving functioning impacted by depression and anxiety. My training has ranged from treating trauma in sexual and domestic violence to challenges with family/relationship dynamics, coming out, and finding community. My approach I value openness, curiosity, humor, and a willingness to analyze ourselves in order to grow. I utilize approaches focused on how thinking shapes our feelings and behaviors, pushing below surface issues to see how and why things are happening in your life. Whether looking for solutions or seeking deeper understanding, we'll dig in and gain clarity. My communication style I'm described as warm and validating as we get to know each other. As we settle in, I will challenge you to consider how your current ways of thinking are shaping your reality and how you'd like those things to change. You can count on me to pick up on and encourage you to break down and analyze any automatic answers that others don't question. My journey to mental healthcare After working in education for many years, I realized I was interested in the emotional challenges students were navigating as I worked with them academically. I understood that student success involved understanding the system around the student and how it was helping or holding them back. In working on non-academic issues, students improved.
