Meet Rivka Benjamin, LCSW, Owner & Therapist

Hi, I’m Rivka, founder and therapist at RB Counseling Group. I have a deep passion for helping children, adolescents, and families overcome the obstacles that interfere with happiness and success. With years of experience working with young people, I understand that each child’s needs are unique, which is why I take a personalized approach to therapy.

Outside of my professional life, I’m a proud parent of three children, living in the suburbs of Chicago, and spending as much time outdoors as I can. I also love playing competitive board games, and will never turn down a cup of iced coffee (yes – no matter the weather) to keep me going!

I’m committed to creating a warm, empathetic space where children and teens feel comfortable expressing themselves and working through their challenges.
While I bring a nurturing presence, my approach is also direct and goal-oriented. I’m not afraid to gently push and challenge kids when needed—always with the intention of helping them grow, build resilience, and reach their full potential.

In addition to working with the child, I collaborate closely with parents through coaching and family therapy. Together, we create a unified support system focused on lasting progress and stronger relationships.
