Hi there, my name is Ben King (he/him) and I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who specializes in working with couples and individuals. I believe in creating a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients so that you can feel comfortable opening up about your life, and also feel supported in taking steps towards your own unique goals.

With couples, I help work through breakdowns in communication to actually be able to hear each other and connect, improve their sex life, as well as heal from infidelity. I also help individuals cope with anxiety & stress to feel at peace and secure again.

I believe that collaboration is key, so my priority is to hear you and understand your unique experience in life, especially when you and your partner have different perspectives. I don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach, and will make sure your own goals are the focus that we can work towards together. I also know that starting therapy can be daunting, so I’ll do my best to make it as comfortable as possible to begin.

Prior to working at The Therapy Group, I earned my Master’s Degree in Couple & Family Therapy at Thomas Jefferson University, with a focus in Sex Therapy. I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gottman Couples Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and integrate helpful parts of other theories and approaches into my work. My training is based in a Systemic approach, which focuses on how our past experiences, personal relationships, patterns of behavior, and choices in life are connected with the issues we experience in our relationships and life in general.

As a therapist, I love being able to see a couple’s relationship change and improve over time, and for my individual clients to feel more confident in navigating their life. Outside of therapy I spend my time relaxing at home with the family, playing the drums, and going birding with my wife!
