Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Ben De La Torre. I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been practicing therapy for over 20 years with teens, young adults, and older adults. I graduated from the University of Chicago School of Social Work Administration in 2005 and have worked in a variety of behavioral health and education settings including inpatient psychiatry, outpatient behavioral health, and the public school setting.

My approach to therapy

I help clients using a humanistic solution focused approach incorporating mindfulness and exploring the clients' experiences and how they can re-write the story of their lives by their design.

What you can expect from me

I believe that feeling heard, understood, and supported can be an important first step toward meaningful change. I provide a warm, compassionate, and empathic space where you can feel comfortable sharing your experiences, exploring your challenges, and discovering new possibilities for moving forward. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and take meaningful steps toward greater happiness and well-being. I look forward to connecting with you, hearing your story, and supporting you on your journey toward positive change.
