“...THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ELEMENT IN THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF THERAPY IS THE QUALITY OF THE RELATIONSHIP THAT THE THERAPIST ESTABLISHES WITH THE CLIENT(S).”

ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME

I began my private practice in 1972 during my doctoral studies at the University of Maine at Orono and have continued to have a practice wherever
I have lived.  At the completion of my doctoral studies in 1973, I accepted a position at Auburn University at Montgomery tasked with building 
a Masters Program in Counseling at this new, emerging University. 

ACADEMIC/PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
  • Bachelor of Science (1967) Wayne State University

  • Master of Arts (1970) Eastern Michigan University

  • Doctor of Education (1973) University of Maine

MY ORIENTATION

There is a great deal of evidence, both empirical
and anecdotal, that the most influential element in
the success or failure of Therapy is the quality of
the relationship that the therapist establishes with
the client(s).

  • Individual Counseling

  • Couples / Relationship Counseling

  • Cultural Adaptation

  • Parenting / Family Therapy

  • Depression

  • Eating Disorders

  • Grief / Anxiety / Stress

TESTIMONIALS

My wife and I contacted Dr. Bender in the first place because we were looking for an English speaking therapist in Munich.  We started couples therapy due to a marriage crisis which we felt we couldn’t get out of by ourselves. At that point we were married for almost 10 years and have had three children. Within only a few sessions Dr. Bender managed to guide us to a place of mutual understanding and increased emotional stability and quickly understood the true nature of our problems.  He is a very empathetic person who always made us feel safe and respected, and always knew how to point us towards self reflection and self improvement. We continue to see Dr. Bender on a regular basis and are now in a better place than we have ever been. Dr. Bender is a very experienced counselor who knows how to handle fragile situations with far-sightedness and strategy. Thank you so much, without you we would probably not be a family today.

CONTACT ME

I have tried to give you a “Thumb-nail” description of who I am as a person and a therapist. If you believe that we could be a good fit for counseling, please contact me via email, telephone, or SMS on my handy/cell phone. Ordinarily I see clients in my home-office, but I realise these are not ordinary times. I am comfortable using ZOOM for video conferencing sessions and have used Skype in the past. These are alternate possibilities. Also, if you want further information about me here is my extended Vita.
