Getting to know Benjamin Sheff

Relationships shape our foundations; holding the potential to provide our greatest joys and most significant challenges. The impact of these relationships is woven into every experience. Ben believes that exploring these connections with openness and curiosity is at the heart of lasting healing. It takes bravery to look inward with compassion and honesty, but the rewards of this work can be immense. Whether you’re looking for individual therapy, support in your relationship(s), or help navigating family challenges, Ben is eager to uplift your inherent empathetic power and help you find greater access to your capacity for healing. Ben completed his Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at Iona University. Raised outside Boston, New York has been his home since 2013. Originally drawn here pursuing the performing arts, followed by over a decade working in hospitality, his curiosity for human engagement in all its forms inspires his work as a therapist. From an early age he was energized to understand the emotional lives of those around him and found his peace and happiness in the outdoors. On his days off he can be found surfing, enjoying a new cooking project, getting out of the city for a hike, or spending some down time with a good show. The diversity of his interests and passion for excitement has led to his belief that a life of wellbeing embraces both responsibility and pleasure. Ben's approach to therapy is through a trauma-informed, humanistic lens influenced by Narrative Therapy and Experiential Therapies, including Internal Family Systems. He embraces an LGBTQIA+ affirming, and sex and kink positive paradigm, understanding that those in marginalized communities have faced unique challenges navigating their identity. Ben draws from his training and lived experience to address your challenges with unconditional positive regard, collaborate with you on your path of healing, and help deepen your connection with yourself and in your relationships.
