Transforming Lives, One Relationship at a Time
At our private practice, we understand that life can be challenging, and it's common to experience difficulties that can hinder our well-being and relationships. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I, Rakefet "Kef" Benderly, Ph. D., have dedicated my practice to providing personalized and compassionate care to adults in the Carlsbad area. With over 25 years of experience, I have helped numerous clients overcome various issues, from depression and anxiety to grief, relationship struggles, and more.
Our Approach to Therapy
My approach to therapy is warm, caring, and straightforward. I work collaboratively with my clients, taking the time to understand their unique needs and concerns. As a psychodynamically trained therapist, I focus on the "here and now" while also exploring the client's history to better understand their experiences and emotions. I also incorporate other therapeutic interventions, such as cognitive-behavioral treatments, psycho-education, positive psychology, and mind-body techniques, to ensure a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to each individual's needs.
Services We Offer
Our practice provides a wide range of services, including:
- Depression and Anxiety: We help clients manage symptoms of depression and anxiety, promoting a sense of calm and well-being.
