Ben Black, LCSW

Specializing in relationships and addiction, Ben strives to meet clients where they are and provide a safe space to explore the origin of their difficulties. Throughout his career he has successfully worked with a range of mood and thought disorders, as well as compulsive behaviors.

Combining elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and ego psychology, Ben helps clients connect past trauma to present behavior, while working with them to develop practical solutions for the present. Beyond training in evidence-based practices, he has personal experience in recovery, with many years of sobriety.

Ben has worked members from a diverse range of communities and welcomes clients from all orientations, identities, and ethnic backgrounds. Although working primarily in English, he speaks conversational Tagalog and basic Cantonese. He is also well-versed in esoteric practices, including tarot and astrology.
