Getting to know Benjamin Schafler

Benjamin P. Schafler, LCSW-R, holds a Master's in Social Work from Yeshiva University and a Bachelor's degree from The University of Chicago. With over 20 years of experience helping adults, children, and adolescents overcome obstacles to greater happiness and success, I bring out and support the special qualities of each person at their own level. I provide support, insight, understanding, and practical, solution-focused guidance and assistance. I'm a great listener and easy to talk to-professional but not intimidating; easy-going, compassionate, and understanding. I make counseling therapy an engaging, pleasant, and helpful experience, offering strategies, tools, insight, and advice for you to self-improve and find relief. My approach always begins with the here and now. I truly listen so you will feel supported and understood. Together, we work on positive strategies to help you feel and function better in your environment. The core of effective therapy is exploring how we can examine and adjust our thinking to improve how we feel and function. Let the light shine in. I work with clients who want help and are ready to find solutions and strategies to get better, function better, and feel better. My communication style is comfortable, relaxed, and easy. I am here to help you overcome obstacles to happiness and success by bringing out your special qualities and providing support, insight, understanding, and practical, solution-focused guidance. My goal is to start with your strengths and build from there. The solution already resides in you-it always has. Together, we will bring it out. You will be surprised to discover your own wisdom, strength, and capacity. In our first session, my aim is for you to feel truly heard and understood and to find in me a partner on your journey to bring out your strengths and reach a better place.
