Justin Benson, LCSW-R
Founder & Clinical Director
Individual Therapy for Men in Patchogue, NY
I work primarily with adult men navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. My approach is collaborative, practical, and straightforward, with a focus on helping you better understand patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change.
With nearly two decades of experience in psychiatric and community mental health settings, I bring a depth of clinical knowledge to my work. As Clinical Director, I also oversee a team of therapists supporting children, teens, adults, couples, and families.
I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental, and goal-oriented space where clients feel comfortable doing the work necessary to move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and purpose.
How I Can Help
Therapy tailored to the challenges men face at different stages of life.
What You Can Expect in Therapy
Straightforward, practical therapy with room to talk openly and work toward real change.
You don’t need to come to therapy knowing exactly what to say or what needs to change. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, talk openly about what’s going on, and work through things without feeling pressured or judged.
I tend to be active and engaged in sessions rather than simply sitting back and listening. We’ll look at patterns that may be keeping you stuck, talk honestly about what’s working and what isn’t, and identify practical ways to approach challenges differently.
You can expect therapy to be collaborative and goal-oriented, while still leaving room for whatever feels important that day. The goal is for you to leave with greater clarity, useful strategies, and a sense that the work we’re doing is helping you move forward.
