Amazing Therapist who knows CBT well and implements it in an effective way. There is ko bias, no recriminations, just focused on providing strategies to help you develop and tackle your challenges :)

Ben is great at acknowledging my perspective and working towards positive solutions together.

Ben makes feel comfortable and that helps me talk about touchy topics

Ben is a great therapist. He always makes me feel heard. He introduces different ways of thinking about things through warm conversation. I like his style.

I've only had one session with Benjamin so far, but I feel that he listened and offered some good advice for me to follow. I look forward to working with him in the future.

Ben continues to be a fantastic and helpful presence in my life. I appreciate his perspective and patience. Great listener and problem solver.

Ben is awesome! I need to be more honest with him

Good

Benjamin has given me useful tools to organize my thoughts so I can be more present for my family. He has also shown me some good ways to interact with a certain difficult family member. Very helpful.

Ben has been incredibly helpful in guiding me through the challenges of navigating a neurotypical world as a late-diagnosis autistic adult. His unique approach of delivering sessions and advice as narratives has been instrumental in helping me remember important insights and stay engaged during our sessions. The tools/advice he’s has taught me I’ve found to be highly applicable to various aspects of my life. I truly appreciate Ben's support and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking guidance.

He’s an excellent therapist

I have been working with Benjamin for a year now. His insights, and understanding of where I am in life, have been extremely valuable. I highly recommend him as a therapist.

Ben is amazing! He listens to all my challenges and triumphs, and offers sound advice and pathways to work on myself.

Ben is a thoughtful and skilled therapist. He truly listens and has helped me tremendously to reframe my mindset and work on improving some unhelpful patterns to improve communication with my partner and myself. I always enjoy talking with him!

I love working with Ben. Highly qualified and experienced, uses a variety of approaches and tools based on my needs, is a great listener and seems like a beautiful person.

His attentive listening is a superpower, his feedback is thoughtful and textured, his empathy contagious!

Ben is a very patient and understanding therapist! He is really attentive to the needs that I present at any given time! I’m not the type of person that opens up to many people and I have no problem doing that with Ben. He has a really good vibe and has the right things to say to keep the positivity through the knowledge he possesses

Ben is a great therapist and a beautiful person. I always feel re-centered, grounded and encouraged after our sessions. The best therapist I’ve ever had!

I look forward to every session with Ben. We make progress each time, they really hear me and help me connect many dots along the way.

I’m so happy I started therapy. It’s been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life.

Benjamin is great! During our first session, as well as listening to my issues, he gave me a simple trick to practice for the week and it really helped. I've been feeling more empowered and more in control.

Best therapist I've ever had. I've had six

Just an all around great guy. I've had many therapists and he is a gem. I'm so grateful to have found him!

Very supportive & gets straight to the point of problems in a very caring and understanding manner.

Benjamin has helped me a lot and I always look forward to our sessions.

He’s amazing!

He’s patient with me, kind and understanding. I feel lucky to have met Benjamin and to have him to talk to has been life changing.

Benjamin is a wonderful and caring counselor and listens extremely well. He brings questions that push me and gives work that helps me grow. 10/10

One session and im sold

Ben is wonderfully understanding. He has helped me look at things objectively and has helped me learn many new skills on how to improve my mental well being. Anyone that has the pleasure to speak with and learn from him is extremely fortunate.

On the answer I wrote completely disagree. It should have been strongly agree. I read and responded too fast for my brain to process. Benjamin is fantastic!

Ben Lara is an insightful, intuitive, and positive therapist with an enormous amount of clinical knowledge and experience. His empathetic and calm demeanor also contribute to his excellence and helpfulness. I absolutely recommend him.

Ben has been great to work with! We have been meeting for about 7 months. We started slow... its a marathon not a race... he got to know me, know my struggles, understand the complexities of my situation to really help me understand ME. He is very compassionate, empathetic, and helpful. He listens, he lets the sessions go where they need to go. I lead, he has no agenda but help me through what is happening now or what ever it is that needs addressing. Things are tough for us all. He has helped me so much. THERAPY has helped me so much. I would recommend him to anyone.

Very knowledgeable and easy to connect with, keeps focused on the treatment while being caring and relatable.

Ben is awesome. He's able to understand the situation and offer remarkably valuable advise and techniques.

The best therapist I've had in 10 years of CBT. He makes me feel seen and understood, and helps me process difficult experiences (from the present and the distant past) and the feelings that come along with them. He is so encouraging and has so many tools, visualizations, and strategies to share! My mental state has drastically improved in large part due to our weekly sessions. I always look forward to our next session. So grateful to have found Ben!

Benjamin has been very helpful through our conversations and has put me on a plan to better manage my mental health.

Benjamin is great!

Hes the best

Benjamin is great at listening and encourages small steps when needed. I love that he doesn’t make me face everything at once. He has given me practical adive I can use on a daily basis to reduce my anxiety. Thank you Benjamin!

He has been such a helpful therapist. We were able to quickly vibe and get into a flow. He understands may needs. He helps me move through my emotions or situations I am experiencing. He is helping me learn skills that will help me LONG term not just short term. Highly recommend

Gives me what I need even if I don't know what that is.

Benjamin is kind and insightful. I also like how he gave me some coping skills in my very first session. Working with him has been very helpful.

I feel like he gets my situation very well

I needed that extra jolt of confidence. Benjamin helped me explore my options, reminded me how important happiness is when weighing pros and cons, and was always super respectful of my choices. If only they were in my network for insurance purposes. I am committed to living authentically. Thank you.

Working with Ben has been great so far! Being able to just talk about what I’m feeling and the tips and exercises we’ve worked on have really helped my anxiety. I’m very excited to see what we’re able to accomplish together.

I’m a little leery of a lot of therapists. I don’t believe that everybody that has a license is necessarily cut out for doing therapy, however; I feel confident in Benjamin and his ability to help me find the direction I need to go with my mental health.

I'm so pleased with the work I have been able to do with Benjamin Lara. As a fellow LCSW, I appreciate that we have similar educational backgrounds and "speak the same language". I appreciate his expertise and outside perspective which allows him to share new and different strategies with me as I navigate some family concerns. I feel heard and respected. I would highly recommend him!!

I’ve only done one session with Ben, but I appreciate his approach to make me feel heard and understood. He is a great conversationalist, and gives great exercises to practice in everyday scenarios.

Ben is very engaging, thoughtful, and thoroughly cares about his clients.

At first I was incredibly nervous to go through with therapy, especially since its my first time. Benjamin Lara was very warming, welcoming, and helpful when first meeting, all my worries were washed away after the first session. Benjamin pushes me to try new things and helps walk through how to deal with situations that negatively impact me. I love how he starts off by having me find ways that help me cope before jumping into all the raw emotional material so when we do get into it I already know how to deal with the feelings. Benjamin leaves me feeling hopeful after out sessions.

Ben helps a lot and is always able to see a way through whatever problem I might be having. He is a very well rounded person with a lot of experience in a wide variety of topics. I feel very comfortable talking to him about anything.

Benjamin is very supportive and he’ has offered me suggestions and options to utilize in my life that are very helpful.
