Andrew Benjamin

I’m an anti-racist, anti-ableist, queer-affirming, trans-affirming, kink-informed, sex-positive therapist who works from an intersectional lens. I support adolescents and adults navigating a myriad of life stressors including anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, compulsions, and substance use. Drawing from diverse attachment-based and somatic interventions, my work focuses on supporting nervous system healing, cultivating mindfulness, and strengthening communication. In essence, I strive to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you navigate life’s adventure.

Therapy, to me, is a space to slow down, get curious, and reconnect with what matters most to you. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I work alongside folks to notice patterns, set attainable goals, and reconnect with the innate wisdom we carry within ourselves. My intention is to create a supportive space where people can explore what’s coming up for them and make choices that feel aligned with the lives they want to be living.

Hello fellow human! I believe life is an unfolding journey, one that keeps moving whether or not we feel ready for it. At times it can feel relentless or overwhelming, and at other times it can be deeply meaningful, enriching, and beautiful, with plenty of uncertainty along the way. Life keeps on life-ing!I believe wholly in our innate capacity for resilience, growth, and healing, and in the importance of caring for ourselves as we move through the world.
