Taking at heart the transdiagnosis nature of ACT’ Benjamin does not limit his work to a type of difficulty or population. He works with children, teens, parents, families, adults, couples, teams and organizations, and even folks who do not feel they face particular psychological or behavioral difficulties but who nonetheless seek to better put their values ​​in action. He offers psychotherapy services, parental guidance, personal and professional coaching, as well as individual or group supervision.

His two passions are working with parents and couples. The father of an eight-year-old boy whom he loves more than anything in the world, he loves sharing with parents the skills that allow our children to grow into more freedom and responsibility and to deepen and strengthen our family relationships. He helps couples reconnect with the core of their loving connection and cultivate a deeper and more secure relationship that helps each partner become the best version of themselves and turn their dreams into action.

Benji is most appreciated for his authenticity, deeply human sense of humor, and his ability to communicate in simple and direct language.

Note that Benjamin does not take new clients at this time.
