Thank you for exploring my profile. I am accepting new clients. I see clients both in person and virtually. With over 20 years of experience, my training and experience is specialized towards working with couples and families, as well as adolescent and adult men. I utilize a direct, no-nonsense approach with notable success in treating addictions, family issues, anxiety (generalized, social, panic, etc), depression, trauma, and relationship problems. I am one of the only practitioners in San Luis Obispo County who specializes in working with men and who does family therapy. Please visit my website benrealcsw.com to learn more!
Utilizing research-based therapies, I work quickly to help clients determine what is happening emotionally, why it happening now, and how to fix the issues quickly and directly. I am a very engaged problem-solving kind of therapist. I promise I won't stare at you blankly and say "hmmmmmmm"!
One of the first things I say to a new client is to trust their gut when looking for a therapist! The research is clear that "goodness of fit" is the best predictor of a positive outcome in therapy. Folks should know by the end of the first session whether they want to make another appointment.
