About
As a person-centered clinician, I understand that listening is unique, not diagnostic; mental healthcare belongs to the person as an individual.
Welcome! My name is Ben. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of PA. I work with individuals facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, set realistic goals, and develop effective coping strategies to improve their overall well-being and achieve lasting positive change.
My approach to therapy is rooted in a person-centered experience for the client. No two clients are the same, so I pull from a range of therapeutic modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, EMDR, and Existentialism—to meet each client's unique needs. I also approach my work in a trauma-informed way and never assume that I understand your experience.
If you feel like I may be the right fit for you, I encourage you to reach out and schedule an appointment to explore how I can support your journey toward well-being.

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
