Getting to know Philip Benjamin
I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals impacted by trauma, chronic stress, grief, and complex mental health challenges. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based care and is tailored to each client’s unique history, values, and goals. I focus on creating a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful and sustainable change. As a veteran, I often work closely with those in the military, first responders, and other men who have experienced trauma and other mental health challenges.
I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-focused interventions, and somatic-based strategies to help clients develop psychological flexibility, reduce distress, and build a more compassionate relationship with their internal experiences. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts or emotions, therapy emphasizes learning how to respond to them differently, clarifying what matters most, and taking values-based steps forward, even in the presence of ongoing challenges.
When appropriate, I also provide preparation and integration support related to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. This work emphasizes thoughtful assessment, intention setting, nervous system regulation, and post-experience integration to help clients make sense of insights and translate them into lasting behavioral and emotional change. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and paced to the individual, with a focus on moving beyond symptom management toward healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can expect a collaborative, structured, and compassionate approach to therapy. Early sessions focus on understanding your concerns, building a sense of safety, and clarifying goals for treatment. I work at a pace that respects your readiness while still supporting forward movement.
My style is grounded and practical, combining insight with skills you can apply in daily life. I frequently use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients change their relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions, clarify personal values, and take steps toward a more meaningful life, even in the presence of ongoing challenges.
For clients engaging in or considering psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, sessions may include intentional preparation and integration work to support insight, nervous system regulation, and translating experiences into lasting growth. Throughout treatment, progress is reviewed regularly and the approach is adjusted as needed, with an emphasis on trust, collaboration, and sustainable change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My work begins with a collaborative intake focused on understanding your concerns, history, strengths, and goals. Early sessions emphasize building safety, trust, and clarity around what you would like to change, while identifying patterns that may be contributing to current challenges.
Treatment is individualized and paced to your needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, and skills-based interventions. ACT work focuses on helping clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, clarify personal values, and build psychological flexibility so they can move toward a more meaningful life even in the presence of stress or trauma symptoms.
When appropriate, therapy may also include preparation and integration work related to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. This process emphasizes careful assessment, intention setting, nervous system regulation, and post-experience integration to help translate insights into lasting behavioral and emotional change. Integration sessions focus on meaning making, values alignment, and grounding insights into daily life.
Throughout our work together, progress is reviewed regularly and goals are adjusted as needed. The process is collaborative, respectful, and focused on sustainable change, not just short-term symptom relief.
