Experiential & Somatic Psychotherapy

Welcome!

I’m Ben Shechet (he/him). I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) providing in-person and telehealth therapy in North Carolina. My orientation to therapy is rooted in the view that at the deepest level we are whole, complete, and capable; we all have the capacity for love, wisdom, and connection within us. And sometimes we need a little help accessing that. My job is not to fix or change anyone—it is to help and support you in connecting with your own ability to grow and meet your life fully. If you are interested in an approach to therapy that meets you where you are and brings you into contact with your own capacity for deep healing, I’d love to learn more about you and your story.

A modern office with a black sofa, a stuffed animal on the sofa, a light-colored armchair, and a desk with a chair. The room features large windows with blinds, wall art, potted plants, and a striped rug. Natural light fills the room.

Affirming, Open, and Aware

I strive to hold a therapy space that is open to people from all walks of life. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, and work to be cognizant of the ways race, class, gender, sexuality, and ancestry inform our worldviews and lived experiences. My ultimate goal is for you to feel safe, seen, heard, and understood just as you are.

In-person and remote options

I provide in-person therapy from my office at 121 North Churton Street in Hillsborough, NC, and provide telehealth services statewide through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.
