Benjamin Richter LPC, CAADC
Who I am
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over six years of experience. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, while still ensuring that each session is tailored to your unique needs and goals.
I work especially well with older teens and adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, avoidance, overthinking, people-pleasing, or unhealthy coping behaviors. Many of my clients are professionals, men navigating relationship or life stress, or individuals trying to improve their emotional awareness and communication.
With six years of experience working in PHP, IOP and OP levels of care I am well versed in some of the most complex issues.
Outside of the Office
I grew up in Michigan and came to Philadelphia for graduate school and have now made it my home. In my free time you can find me playing soccer, spending time with friends, at the gym, visiting family, or grilling outside in the summer or snowboarding in the winter!

I am Detroit Lions, Tigers and Red Wings Fan
