At Strong Mind Psychiatry, we create a confidential, judgment-free space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with professional guidance. Through thoughtful conversation and active listening, Ben helps you gain insights into patterns that may limit your potential or contribute to distress. For many patients, the blend of counseling and psychiatric treatment provides both immediate emotional relief and long-term psychological growth. Whether as a standalone approach or combined with other techniques, traditional talk therapy offers a powerful pathway to self-discovery and enhanced mental well-being.
Our ADHD treatment helps you harness your unique cognitive style. For adults, we focus on developing organizational systems, time management strategies, and work approaches that complement your strengths while addressing challenges.

Our approach to depression treatment combines therapeutic techniques with medication management when appropriate. We help you identify underlying patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and rebuild motivation and engagement with life. Whether you’re experiencing situational depression related to specific life events or dealing with recurring depressive episodes, our compassionate care addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term resilience.
Anxiety manifests differently for each person — from persistent worry to panic attacks, social fears, or specific phobias. We help you understand your anxiety triggers, develop practical tools to manage anxious thoughts and physical symptoms, and gradually build confidence in situations that previously caused distress. Through a combination of therapeutic techniques, we work to transform anxiety from an overwhelming force to a manageable aspect of your experience.

Managing bipolar disorders requires thoughtful, consistent care that addresses both manic and depressive episodes. Our comprehensive approach includes careful medication management, therapy focused on mood monitoring, trigger identification, and lifestyle strategies to promote stability. We help you develop greater awareness of mood patterns while building structures that support consistent sleep, stress management, and healthy routines — essential components of long-term wellbeing with bipolar disorder.
At Strong Mind Psychiatry, we understand the complex nature of schizoaffective disorder, which combines symptoms of schizophrenia with mood disorder elements. Ben works collaboratively with patients and their support systems to create stability-focused routines, identify early warning signs of episodes, and build resilience. Our holistic perspective also addresses practical needs like sleep hygiene, stress management, and social functioning to support long-term wellness and recovery. Through consistent care and ongoing monitoring, we help patients with schizoaffective disorder achieve greater symptom management and improved quality of life.
Schizophrenia requires specialized, compassionate care that acknowledges both its biological foundations and personal impact. Ben creates a safe, judgment-free therapeutic environment where patients can express their experiences without fear of misunderstanding. We focus on realistic goal-setting that supports progressive independence and functioning while maintaining sensitivity to each individual’s unique experience of the condition. Through consistent support and multifaceted treatment, we help patients with schizophrenia achieve meaningful stability and improved daily functioning.
Treatment for personality disorders at Strong Mind Psychiatry centers on recognizing that these conditions affect how individuals perceive themselves, others, and navigate relationships. We begin with a careful assessment to identify specific personality patterns while acknowledging the person beyond the diagnosis. Ben focuses on establishing a consistent therapeutic relationship, helps patients identify triggers for problematic behaviors, develop alternative responses, and practice new ways of relating to others in a supportive environment.
