Get to know more about Ben
Ben is a New York State Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Dr. Fallon's Practice with a wealth of diverse experience and a deep passion for helping his clients achieve their goals. He holds a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Pace University.
Ben creates a healing and empowering therapeutic relationship with each of his clients, believing that the most essential part of therapy is for someone to feel completely safe and free to explore the concerns, challenges, issues, and life goals that are most important to them. The foundation of Ben's approach is to provide an unconditionally accepting, warm, and supportive environment in which to do just that.
Building on this foundation, Ben has a deep appreciation for offering evidence-based therapeutic tools and perspectives in a targeted strategy to meet the specific needs of each client. Ben's technical background and therapeutic toolkit is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based perspectives. He enjoys customizing these therapeutic principles to the nuances of each client's life situation
What should a new client know about working with you?
Ben is passionate about helping clients work through shame, low self-esteem, grief, dating, and relationship issues. Ben has also helped clients better manage and reduce their anxiety. He enjoys helping people excel in their career, entrepreneurial, and artistic ambitions. Ben also loves to work with issues around spirituality.
Ben began his journey towards working in the mental health field after his career as the lead singer-songwriter signed to a major label in an international touring indie rock band. Ben’s experience in that high-pressure music entertainment environment taught him the importance of prioritizing mental wellness. Ben developed a passion for learning about human behavior and helping others work through their own challenges. After receiving his life coach credentials from CTI and his master's degree in mental health counseling from Pace University, Ben has been able to express this passion with every individual he is fortunate to work with
Had a good first session. Look forward to continuing therapy with him and getting deeper into issues
Amazing person, listens and is very helpful. He helped my a lot with my internal troubles in a very short period of time. Great person to talk to who feels like a friend you’ve known your whole life.
