Therapist
Ben Barer, LCSW-C
Ben is a licensed psychotherapist working out of the Pikesville/Owings Mills area with experience working in outpatient mental health, Dialysis Social Work, and private practice. As a graduate from the University of Maryland School and a life-long Baltimore resident, Ben is currently serving clients that are dealing with a wide range of issues such as relationship issues (Pre and Post Marital), processing grief/loss of a loved one, self-esteem challenges, anxiety and depression. Ben approaches every session focusing on meeting each client where they are in their current life stage using the Client Centered approach as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a “flavor” of Mindfulness. Ben is also EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) trained, which is widely considered the best treatment for those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
Ben’s transparent and honest approach in the psychotherapy setting is imperative in creating a genuine and heartfelt relationship with each and every client. His gentle but bold personality creates a unique opportunity for clients to explore and recognize what is holding them back from becoming the best possible version of themselves.
In his free time, Ben enjoys exercising, attending Orioles games, and playing video games.
