Benjamin Carter, MHC-LP
Hi, I’m Benjamin. I'm a queer-affirming, trauma-informed mental health counselor offering therapy across New York State. I help individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about who they are or what they need—especially those navigating identity, trauma, and relationships. Many of my clients are adults working through the impact of past trauma, anxiety, shame, or disconnection from themselves or others. Some come to therapy unsure of how to express their needs in relationships, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel right.
Others are exploring who they are, who they’ve been told to be, or who they want to become. If that resonates, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. My approach is relational, compassionate, and collaborative. I work from an integration of mindfulness with attachment-focused and trauma-informed therapies.
If you're curious about working together, I offer a free 15-minute consultation. I'd love to meet with you.
