Getting to know John Benson
Life requires us all to respond to change, yet doing so can be quite challenging even in the best of times. Changes in work, relationships, health, finances, or ourselves stir up a variety of thoughts and feelings that can destabilize and disrupt our peace and joy. Periods of transition in life can also be disorienting and painful. In our therapy together, I offer support and guide you in your efforts to meet life on your own terms.
I hold a Master’s degree in Counseling from Loyola University Chicago, which provides a strong foundation for my work as a therapist. My experience allows me to understand and empathize with your struggles deeply. My approach to therapy involves a variety of modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems, Contextual Therapy, and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM).
I possess the framework necessary to help you step forward with more confidence today as well as tomorrow. I have the knowledge and experience to help you look past and ameliorate symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction, or relationship issues. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help you gain insight into what creates your disturbance. Together, we create a treatment plan that ultimately affords you the life you desire. I meet you where you are, and together, we move to where you want to be.
