Benjamin Dukas, PsyD.
Postdoctoral Fellow
As a therapist, my goal is not only to support you in navigating life’s challenges and improving your mental health, but also to help you clarify the kind of life you want to lead—and empower you to pursue it. I strive to create a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where we can work together to foster meaningful and lasting change.
I have experience working with a broad range of individuals and concerns, with particular interest in helping people manage anxiety, perfectionism, and trauma. I also enjoy working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, creative professionals, veterans, and those navigating family or relationship stress.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from multiple evidence-based modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I am also trained in cognitive processing therapy (CPT), a proven treatment for PTSD. I always listen carefully and collaborate closely with my clients to identify the approach that best suits their unique needs, values, and background.
I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and my doctorate in clinical psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology at Yeshiva University. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at the VA Medical Center – Manhattan Campus, and have worked in a variety of clinical environments including inpatient, outpatient, college counseling, community mental health, and private practice settings.
I would be very happy to schedule a free 10-minute phone consultation with you. If you would like to do so, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
