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 and have worked in a variety of settings including inpatient hospitals, outpatient behavioral health clinics, and public schools.

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 provide a warm and empathic approach respecting one's experience and helping clients to explore opportunities to make the changes they seek to pursue a happier experience in their lives. I look forward to consulting with you and exploring if my services can be of any benefit for you.
