Dr. Benjamin Kerman

I am an experienced evidence-driven licensed clinical psychologist who brings a solution-focused, collaborative approach to all my work. For over 30 years, I've created, provided, evaluated, and improved effective services for individuals and families. Throughout, my best partners have been the dedicated families and faculties at places like Yale Child Study Center (post-doc fellowship), University of Rhode Island (Ph.D.) and several community health centers, agencies, and hospitals.

I draw flexibly on techniques and experiences that help you identify and achieve your goals. Individuals and families I work with bring a range of priorities. Some seek to address challenging patterns in relationships, concerns about well-being, or performance at school or professional life. Some arrive with a diagnosis, treatment plan, or an array of therapeutic services that they want to understand better. Some arrive uncertain of what they want to accomplish.

Whether an assessment or therapy session, each meeting should provide a sense that hard work is happening. Overtime, this effort adds up to a better understanding of the choices you face, and a better sense of control with those choices.
