We blame many of our problems on personal deficiencies; however, issues typically stem from the larger systems of capitalism, racism, and adverse life experiences. Therapy can be a place to work through anxiety, depression, traumas, and life-related stressors that have created issues in identity, self-esteem, grief, and maladaptive coping skills. I am available to clients who want help looking at the broken vase, pick up the pieces, and learn to reduce mental blocks while creating a decluttered and healthier lifestyle that builds opportunity.

I grew up in the Capital Region but moved to the west coast to pursue my graduate education and ended up staying for twenty years. Now I am back in the area with an office space in downtown Troy where I offer therapy services and also conduct psychological evaluations and other consultation services. I can conduct online sessions utilizing a HIPPA compliant video platform. Lastly, I do still offer, when possible, a free consultation to answer any questions and/or determine if you feel we would be a good fit.

While some new clients seek Neurofeedback as the first treatment option for their struggles, most clients come because typical treatments have failed. They are desperate for a real, sustained change! Whether it's the child on too many meds with no real gains, the student still anxious after practicing their cognitive restructuring for years, or the therapy-exhausted, still struggling adult...most have tried a bit of everything but found little success. Upon doing their research, they discover that Neurofeedback offers the chance to truly change how the brain functions by teaching the regulation of brainwaves without side effects.

There is much to be said of the idea that a therapist should be a “good fit.” If you don’t feel there is a connection to build on and lessons to be learned, there is no harm in stating that truth and moving on. I’ve worked with people for a few months and some for many years. It’s important to feel you are getting something from your therapy. Therapeutic relationships perform the best when both therapist and client are mutually invested in the work. I deeply appreciate clients who commit and face the sometimes-painful work of therapy, knowing they are working toward a better day, a better life.

Hi, I'm Ben. I'm a licensed mental health counselor in Delmar. What continues to amaze me as a therapist is how resilient people are. I've worked with people going through traumatic experiences and I've seen them go on to live meaningful, fulfilling lives. I strongly believe people can overcome the immense obstacles life throws their way. I have a particular interest in working with younger men (20's and 30's), as they face unique challenges and historically have been less likely to seek help.

Male Therapists

As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?

There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?

Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?

Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?

Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
