Benjamin Tolman, CSW (they/them)

I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space for us to talk and work. I have experience supporting clients through a wide range of circumstances, and I understand how difficult life can be. My therapeutic approach is rooted in deep compassion, radical acceptance, and a bit of whimsy to help balance the hard work of therapy with genuine human connection.

To best support your goals, I draw on several proven therapeutic frameworks:

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Helping you build practical skills to manage distress and regulate complex emotions.
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Working together to help you navigate difficult thoughts and take action toward a meaningful life.
• Internal Family Systems (IFS): Exploring the different parts of your personality to resolve inner conflict and foster self-compassion.
• Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC): Cultivating a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself during difficult times.

Finding a therapist and space where you are accepted exactly as you are is an important first step in therapy. You may be seeking practical tools to manage distress, or you might need support navigating significant life transitions. Whatever brings you here, I am dedicated to helping you make the changes you want to see in your life while also accepting who you are right now.
