Benjamin Carter, MHC-LP(He/Him/His)

Benjamin Carter, MHC-LP is a therapist who is passionate about supporting individuals as they heal from experiences of trauma, find meaning in navigating identity, and foster loving relationships. With experience in working alongside individuals navigating complex trauma, family and partner conflict, substance use, depression, and anxiety, Benjamin works to facilitate healing through an attuned, collaborative relationship.

Benjamin’s approach to work is gentle, focused, and relational, in which he prioritizes helping individuals to feel held, understood, and guided to make meaning in their experiences and relationships. He believes that this creates a path for clients to heal, and make change.

While completing his master’s training, Benjamin worked in a trauma institute setting, supporting adults and children as they navigate ongoing trauma, stressors, and complex relationships. With advanced training in Meditation and Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, AEDP, and Emotion Focused Therapy for Couples, Benjamin offers a wide set of clinical approaches to meet clients where they are, while infusing a relational-cultural lens that integrates identity, attachment, and client experience into his work.

Benjamin believes that people are resilient, and have the keys to change and heal in the context of an attuned and collaborative relationship. He believes that healing also comes from an integration of individual identity, culture, and spirituality, and takes an anti-racist and LGBTQ+ and trans-affirming and informed approach that prioritizes acceptance and belonging for all aspects of identity.
