Ben Spellman

Maybe you’re exhausted from constantly overthinking, staying stressed, or trying to hold everything together for everyone else. On the outside, things may look fine.....but internally you feel anxious, burned out, disconnected, or stuck. I can help you regain clarity, confidence, and a sense of control without feeling judged or analyzed by helping you identify the source of your issues and collaborating with you to develop a plan of action to overcome them. I accept BCBS insurance and am accepting new clients for in-person and virtual sessions.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, substance use, grief, and stress. Although I specialize in these issues, I also have extensive experience successfully treating clients with trauma, codependency, and other mental health issues. Don't take my word for it- check out my endorsements from other therapists who use me as a referral source!

If you want to experience better sleep, healthier relationships, and an overall sense of wellbeing, then therapy is for you! Reaching out for therapy can feel uncomfortable and overwhelming, especially if you’re used to handling things on your own. If you think we might be a good fit, call or email me and we can talk through what you’re looking for.
