Meet Bentzion

Bentzion Gruber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of professional experience, holding specialized certifications as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), Certified Sexual Trauma Specialist (CSTS), Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider (CSOTP), and Certified EMDR Therapist, and has dedicated his work to supporting people as they navigate and heal from complex, often stigmatized sexual issues. These include problematic sexual behaviors, sex addiction, pornography or sexual media use, sexual abuse and trauma, same-sex attraction, and offense-related behaviors.

At Gruber Counseling, clients experience a warm, welcoming space where honesty is valued and encouraged. This helps them feel comfortable sharing what they might otherwise keep to themselves. In this supportive environment, clients find the strength to embark on the arduous journey of recovery and healing.

A client once described my practice as "the back porch in the last house in town,” capturing a heartfelt, meaningful moment. It’s a final turning point for many, offering a safe space to face truths and begin healing when all options are gone.

Whether you're caught in the cycle of addiction, carrying the weight of trauma, or facing the consequences of harmful behaviors, I am here to connect with you just as you are—with genuine care, kindness, and deep respect for your innate ability to grow.
