Benson Ansell, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a background in family and relational therapy. I hold two master’s degrees in counseling from the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education and am a member of the Building Bridges community in Media, PA. In addition to my office practice, I also offer in-home therapy in Philadelphia and the surrounding area.
My purpose as a psychotherapist is to help individuals and families find relief and greater ease within themselves and their relationships. My approach is relational and systemic, with a strong focus on the here-and-now patterns that shape our interactions. I bring a calm and grounded presence to the work and view every session as an opportunity for genuine connection and discovery.
I have extensive experience helping families whose child is struggling with intense emotions or behaviors that have become disruptive or unsafe. This includes oppositional behavior, violent outbursts, and threats of self-harm. I also work individually with adolescents—especially boys—who are learning how to understand and express their emotions, and with adults navigating anxiety, anger, sadness, or a desire for more authentic connection and joy in life.
If you’re curious about working together or would like to learn more, I invite you to reach out. I’d be glad to connect and see how I can support you or your family.
