Benjamin Ehrenfeld, LCSW
Licensed in: Oregon, Texas
Often, people seek out therapy in the hopes to decrease suffering and increase connection to who/what they care about. My life’s work is to be skillful at supporting the people who consult me in achieving their unique version of these goals.
About Me
I incorporate four main pillars in my practice. First, my foundational education in Social Work (MSW, Salem State, 2016) and extensive training in Narrative Therapy enable me to focus on the social factors impacting each person, remain accountable to those factors, and help client’s re-author their stories. Second, I utilize tools from normative psychology and psychiatry traditions when they suit a client’s needs (such as ACT, CBT-I, and Trauma-Informed practices). Third, I ethically draw from my own identities and experiences, including 8 years in medical settings (6 in a Multiple Sclerosis clinic), my Jewish identity and observant practice, training in Music Therapy, and my personal experience as someone who stutters. Finally, I maintain a rigorous commitment to learning from clients, mentees, peers, and mentors. I look forward to our journey together!

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Headlight accept insurance?
Yes, Headlight accepts most major insurances such as Aetna, Kaiser, Magellan, Anthem and more. To confirm we accept your insurance, please call 800-930-0803.
What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.

Do Headlight providers offer telehealth visits?
Absolutely, all our providers offer telehealth visits so that you can get care from the comfort of your own home.
Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
