We all have learned to walk through this world with a certain degree of guardedness and protection. Through a safe and gradual process, I assist people in letting down the walls that we formed to protect us. I have found that when our masks start to come off, we can form more authentic and real connections with others. You can safely begin to open, become vulnerable, and get in touch with what you desire. Together, we discover how you can live in a more authentic way in your life. Freedom and happiness are attainable in this world!

Life is like an ocean of possibilities. There are times in life that you are floating along just fine, times were you are riding high on the waves, and then there are times you feel like you are caught in a strong under current, struggling to keep from drowning. Whether you are dealing with depression, emotional challenges, trauma, relationship issues, or difficult life transitions and circumstances, you do not have to navigate them alone. My role as your therapist is to support and challenge you to reach your personal goals, with compassion and understanding, in an empathetic, judgment free partnership.

Through difficult life experiences, you may have come to believe that you can't ask for help or that you can only trust yourself. Perhaps you believe that being vulnerable is dangerous. Strong emotions might even make you feel out of control. More importantly, there’s a part of you that wants things to change. Welcome! My therapeutic work is deeply grounded in healing practices that promote dignity, justice, and self-determination. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental, empowering, and collaborative healing space where you can show up just as you are and where you can gain the tools for meaningful change.

I believe that good counseling, beginning with a natural fit between client and therapist, can be one of the most important and beneficial experiences of our lives. I am passionate about working with my clients and strive always to bring my natural compassion and creativity to each session. I find I am most helpful to clients struggling with loss, grief, depression, anxiety, and relationship issues, though I help clients work through other issues as well. Because I am trained in theology as well as psychotherapy, I bring a unique understanding of faith and spirituality to my practice, welcoming clients from any (or no) faith tradition.

I am a clinical social worker with 10 years of experience and have worked in both residential and outpatient settings. I currently offer individual therapy to clients experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, substance use, and grief. I work with many LGBTQIA+ clients and believe that issues of social justice are often relevant to therapy. I come from a Health at Every Size perspective, am sex-positive, and am committed to ongoing anti-racist work. I have sought additional training around sexuality and gender and am enthusiastic about supporting folks who are feeling curious about exploring these facets of their experience.

My name is Emily Benefield (she/her) and working with others is my passion. Humans are resilient creatures - but sometimes when we encounter persistent mental health concerns, life transitions, grief, low self-esteem, relationship conflicts, or any of the many challenges that come with existing in the world today, we find it difficult to access that resilience. I work with individuals and couples through the lens of empowerment, authenticity, trust, and kindness. I cultivate individualized treatment plans using a variety of evidence-based yet eclectic frameworks, dependent on the unique needs each person brings to the therapy space.

It’s no secret that there are times when we all become overwhelmed, feel down, or we just don’t know where to turn. There are also times when we experience hardship, feel hopeless, or think we are not good enough. I have been there before, I know that it can get better. That’s why I chose a career as a LCMHC. In my six years of counseling, I find joy in helping clients find a way back to a sense of well-being. Together, we work to find the root cause of difficulties, begin building a healthy perception of self and ultimately progress towards living a life you deserve and desire.

**Not Accepting New Clients Currently** I am highly experienced with those who find themselves stuck in unproductive or damaging patterns of thinking or actions and have been unable to move forward, even with other professional help. The feedback I receive from fellow providers and clients is that I have a high success rate of treatment and recovery. I believe that outpatient psychotherapy is a process of collaboration that provides a stable, supportive environment for achieving psychological wellness. Each of us are unique and the best expert on the stressors in our daily life.

All of us live with stress and unexpected situations. It's part of being human. If all of these things have become too much, if you've found yourself thinking, "No one can help me through this", "I want to go to therapy but...", or "I'm broken", I'm glad to help you show yourself that these thoughts aren't the truth or a definition of who you are. You may be an adult struggling with sudden life or career changes, newly concerned about what the future holds during the pandemic, a parent looking for extra emotional support for you and your children, or simply someone who wants to be heard. I'm here to do so.
