Ben Durchslag LCSW

Ben’s philosophy of care is grounded in the notion that people do not need to be fixed, but to be able to return to their core self. He collaborates with clients to create a safe and secure environment to be their authentic selves. Ben specializes in many different forms of therapy and can tailor his approach to your treatment based on your personality, needs, and feedback. He is trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Substance Use, and Trauma Informed Care. Whether you yourself are going through a major life transition, an ongoing mental health issue or emerging crisis, or supporting others who are, Ben is ready to provide a courageous, non- judgmental space for you to explore what matters to you and use that as a foundation to create a meaningful life for yourself and those who matter to you most.

"As life ebbs and flows it is natural for us to feel burnt out, hopeless, and helpless. Whether you are going through a major life transition, an ongoing mental health issue or emerging crisis, or supporting others who are, my goal is to be present for you."
