Robert Jerome BentonLicensed Psychoanalyst, PhD, LP

About

My goal is to help individuals and couples recognize and value what's special in themselves, even sometimes finding their strengths in what appear to be weaknesses. I believe self-knowledge and self-acceptance are the best ways out of low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationship impasses, and other ways of feeling stuck. Getting to know yourself doesn't have to mean looking for "problems." It also means identifying our strengths and learning how to use them. We're all different and unique. I think learning to value our differences is one of the most helpful things we can do for ourselves. Besides the usual range of life issues, I've worked extensively with individuals and couples on issues of sexuality and sexual orientation. I work with heterosexuals, gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, and others, including those who choose not to define their sexuality.
