Rob Bennett
My approach is interpersonal to build health in relationships. I am a man who is male and gay. My diet is herbivore, and I am physically active. I have pets who live with me. I provide techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to manage anxiety and depression. I am certified to treat trauma with Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) for adults and children. I treat substance abuse and process addictions and will recommend that you attend group therapy in your community, too. I am licensed to provide mental health social work services with an LISW from Ohio CSWMFT Board. I earned a PhD from The Ohio State University.
First session
Our first session, we talk about your presenting concern. What brings you to therapy? Why do you need mental health care? I lead us in a conversation about your background and create a genogram (map of personal relationships). I ask critical questions about your safety, and we plan to maintain your safety. I am a mandated reporter of abuse and maltreatment.
Strengths
I am not a fan of teletherapy, but that is how these services are delivered. You need a stable internet connection and reliable technology to secure these services. My technology is HIPAA compliant, and I follow protocols to avoid data breaches. I am religious and ordained and can provide spiritual counseling.
Ideal clients
My ideal client... I can work with anyone who wants to work with me. You already read about me. I am a man who is male and gay. We can work together if you can work with a person from those groups. Please request to work with me if you believe that I can help you with your mental health.
