Benjamin Di Biase, LCSW, LICSW — Therapist in Idaho

Hi there, I'm Benjamin!

Ben has 20+ Years in the helping profession, including street work with homeless people, community development in Africa, institutional mental health, end-of-life care, resettlement with refugees, and multimodal therapy as Master's level LICSW. “Whatever Challenge you’re facing, we'll find a way forward that you can Feel Good about!"

My focus

I specialize in supporting people experiencing Trauma, Addiction, Relationship Challenges, Grief, Depression, and Anxiety. If you feel stuck, I know we’ll be able to make sense of things. Borrow some of my Hope.

My approach

I bring a full range of life experience and training to provide you with the best-fit therapy (CBT, MI, DBT, EMDR, IFS, Christian Ministry). We will focus on YOUR goals for therapy and take it at your pace. I'll provide you with education on applied Psychology, Mindfulness, and Emotional Intelligence to equip you with more of your own Tools.

My communication style

I prioritize Engagement. It's important that we connect on a Human Level in addition to addressing content. If you need a clear Action Plan, we can do that. If you need Space to put feelings into words, I’m here for that, too. Clients appreciate my warm, conversational style. Sessions are a safe place to put down burdens and be completely Open.

My journey to mental healthcare

It's been my Guiding Light to invest in what would last, which to me is helping People live each day holistically. My journey includes being a Caregiver, Mental Health Crisis Responder, Refugee Advocate, Student of Psychology, and Husband and Father. Therapy is my passion. If I can help just one person embrace life more fully, it's been a good day.

My goals for you

You have core human needs, such as Safety, Freedom, Belonging, and Individuality. My goal is for you to be empowered to get your Needs met so that you can THRIVE. Too often, the challenges of life act like walls, and we live a restricted existence. With a bit of acceptance and commitment, we can problem-solve how to move forward authentically.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll be eager to discover what motivated you to reach out for support at this moment in time. First, I want you to have the opportunity to be heard and understood. My favorite quote by Henry David Thoreau... “It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.” So, we’ll begin with you.
