Loving Relationships and Living Values
Every person is a world with infinite potential. Therapy works when it helps you unlock that world
I’m Yonasan Bender, providing warm and structured therapy that taps into your potential to help you actualize the life you deserve.
Drawing from years of experience and training, I can help you navigate and solve life’s most serious problems. From anxiety, depression, loneliness and anger, to parenting, marital conflict, personality disorders, autism, eating disorders, and trauma. No matter the challenge, there is a way forward.
My Approach
My approach to therapy is grounded in understanding the underlying structure of each therapeutic tradition I draw from.
These therapies are not interchangeable techniques. Each rests on a distinct model of human nature, change, emotion, and behavior.
I work from the inside of those models understanding what they assume, what they target, where they are strongest, and where their limits begin.
Cognitive
CBT, REBT
Focuses on reshaping unhelpful thinking that drive anxiety, depression, and rumination. Techniques like cognitive restructuring and thought records help change distorted beliefs. Especially effective for anxiety disorders, OCD, and mood disorders.
Behavioral
ACT, ERP, BA
Targets avoidance and builds flexibility changing learned behavior directly. Exposure therapy and behavioral activation retrain the brain through action. Ideal for phobias, autism, depression-related inertia, and habit change.
Emotional
DBT, EFT, IFS
Helps regulate overwhelming emotions and heal attachment wounds. Skills like distress tolerance and parts work build emotional awareness and stability. Effective for emotional reactivity, shame, and relational sensitivity.
Psychodynamic
Carl Jung, ORT
Explores the deeper symbolism shaping the inner world. Through dream analysis, active imagination, and archetypes, the unconscious is integrated. Helpful for identity crises, recurring life themes, and personal transformation.
Couples
Gottman, EFT, IBCT
Works on interaction cycles rather than “who’s right.” Tools like Love Maps, softened start-up, and attachment repair conversations rebuild connection. Effective for conflict, emotional distance, betrayal repair, improved intimacy and healthy sexuality.
Trauma
CPT, Processing
Addresses how trauma lives in memory and the nervous system. Techniques like narrative building and structured processing reduce reactivity and restore safety. Designed for PTSD, complex trauma, and dissociation.
