My name is Susan Benjaminsen, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed and based in Maine. I hold an original license from California and am registered as a telehealth provider for Florida residents. My therapeutic approach prioritizes authenticity and heartfelt connection, utilizing a variety of techniques personalized to meet each client's unique needs. I specialize in treating complex post-traumatic stress, which often manifests as anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, unhealthy behavior patterns, and relationship challenges linked to histories of adverse childhood experiences and generational trauma.
My communication style is rooted in authenticity and genuine connection. I convey my thoughts with interest, energy, and enthusiasm while maintaining a tone of honor and respect, which helps to foster collaboration and create a safe therapeutic environment where everyone feels heard and truly supported.
I approach goal setting using motivational interviewing to help clients explore and address any ambivalence they may have about making changes. Additionally, I utilize "The Miracle Question" to assist them in visualizing what progress looks like and how they can practically recognize when they have achieved their goals.
