Professional Services
In an initial interview you will be invited to talk about the problem that concerns you. Dr. Benveniste will listen, explore the situation with you and then offer an initial assessment and preliminary recommendations. Those recommendations in the first session may include specific strategies for dealing with the problem and an invitation to continue the evaluation process if need be.

If a patient chooses to continue the evaluation process he or she can expect to meet for a few more sessions after which there is likely to be a recommendation for psychodynamic psychotherapy, child therapy, counseling, couple’s counseling, or parent consultation depending upon the needs of the case and preferences of the individual.

Dr. Benveniste is also available for school observations, teacher consultation and public lectures.

Fees: $150/ session
