Getting to know Benjamin Stein

My specialties focus on supporting those experiencing Anxiety, ADHD, Trauma, or Depression. Clients often begin to feel better within the first few sessions as we build a trusting relationship while working on psychoeducation and coping skills for you to practice between our meetings. From there, we explore the roots of what is afflicting you and employ a variety of modalities tailored to your needs. I am a queer-allied therapist who utilizes a trauma-informed lens in my practice. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Columbia University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide compassionate, evidence-based care. After booking with me, I will reach out for a free 10-minute consult to determine whether we are a good fit.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to treatment centers around your goals. In session with me, you should feel listened to and empowered as we progress through the treatment process. In my practice, I use a combination of Psychoeducation, DBT, Mindfulness, and Interpersonal Dynamics. I am certified in the trauma remedying modalities such as TF-CBT and EMDR.
