Ben Dickstein(He/Him/His)

Ben Dickstein is a licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Cincinnati, OH who works with individuals and couples, ages 13 and older. He specializes in therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep, and couples. Many of his clients struggle with chronic worry, panic, social anxiety, ADHD, obsessive thinking, isolation, PTSD, insomnia, and relationship issues.

When possible, Ben prioritizes the use of evidence-based treatments, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, to help clients reach their identified goals. Often, this approach involves the enhancement of self-awareness, including awareness of one’s thoughts and emotion-driven impulses, followed by the use of interventions aimed at reducing biased thinking and self-defeating behaviors.

Examples of common therapy goals set by Ben’s clients include: improving mood, motivation, and social connectedness; stopping panic attacks, phobias, and intrusive thoughts; decreasing overall anxiety; recovering hope and meaning in the wake of trauma; improving the quality and quantity of sleep; and improving communication and intimacy within relationships.

With regard to clinical style, Ben is interactive, non-judgmental, and believes in the use of humor and self-disclosure. He is willing to think “out of the box” with clients to ensure that they make the real-world changes that they seek. Ben sees clients at his office in Downtown Cincinnati as well as virtually, by telehealth appointment.
