Benjamin Nicholson

I am a board-certified music therapist and professional counselor licensed to practice in the states of Pennsylvania and Virginia. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I am originally from outside of Atlanta, Georgia and have lived and worked in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania since 2010.

I specialize in the modalities of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to assist people with overcoming the effects of traumatic stress. I also assist people with overcoming depression and managing life stressors. Additionally, I am trained in the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM), which I use to support individuals with personal growth and development goals.

It is my mission to help individuals experiencing the effects of mental illness and/or other life difficulties become more active and effective agents of their own recovery and success through the provision of high-quality holistic, collaborative treatment tailored to the individual's unique strengths and needs.

You expect me to engage in the work with interest and curiosity as I seek to understand your unique context and work with you in a collaborative and supportive manner to address your concerns.
