Jess Benston, LCAT, ATR-BC, ATCS
Hi, I’m Jess Benston (she/they), a licensed art therapist, certified gestalt therapist, and clinical supervisor with over 17 years of experience supporting teens and adults through anxiety, depression, burnout, and identity exploration. Using a combination of relational talk therapy and arts-based processing, I work with folks to make shifts in how they understand themselves and how they move through the world. Sessions are held either remotely or in-person at my fully stocked Brooklyn studio/office. If you are feeling lost, burnt out, or just "off", I welcome you to reach out.
