Kelly Benjamin
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCMHC, CCTP
Seeking help can be difficult and finding the right therapist is key. Each individual is unique and deserves individualized treatment. My primary goal is to offer a safe and caring environment in which you will be treated with dignity and respect. Therapy sessions are a collaborative process and they are aimed at empowering you to better understand yourself and to develop the coping skills necessary to live a more fulfilling life.
I have experience working with adults with anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, and multiple other issues. Many of my clients also come to therapy to better understand themselves and to find meaning and purpose in their lives. My approach is eclectic; utilizing humanistic, strengths-based, trauma-informed, EMDR, and cognitive behavioral therapies.
I believe in meeting each client where they are and helping them to achieve their personal and therapeutic goals. I offer flexible hours and a free phone consultation. Start your journey of self-exploration and healing today!
