I consider it my privilege to join individuals and families on their journeys towards wellness! My approach is supportive, collaborative, and often emphasizes development of skills and enhancement of already-present skills (e.g., coping, conflict resolution, parenting). I consider humor an essential ingredient! I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, in a variety of settings such as outpatient, inpatient, and residential, and have prior experience in CPS and adoption services.

We all experience distressing emotions and are faced with challenging times in our lives. Sometimes additional support is needed because these experiences can be overwhelming and too much to handle on our own. Sharing your thoughts, feelings, and personal experiences can feel uncomfortable. This is why it is so important to me to provide a safe and caring environment for clients to feel understood and respected. It is my primary goal to build trust and provide support to my clients.

The constant journey of navigating various identities has been a long and arduous task to discover where to fit in and belong. I have a diverse family history and identify as Tejanos, Enrolled Native American, and Caucasian. The sense of being “not enough” for any group impacts the way I understand myself and the importance of finding one’s voice and self love within the various identity intersections. I carry a sense of absolute curiosity and empathy when working with all clients.

Hi, my name is Mary Jane Poulson; I go by "Jane". I have worked in the helping profession for over 30 years with a primary focus on the treatment of depression, anxiety and trauma. I have worked with issues ranging from chronic mental disorders to major life stressors. I understand how difficult it can be to find someone to feel comfortable enough to share your inner most thoughts and feelings, and how emotional distress and unhelpful thinking can contribute to dysfunctional behaviors and conflicted relationships, perpetuating your pain. When friends or family aren't enough to help, it's time to find a professional you can trust.

Having been in the behavioral health field for over a decade, I have learned that relationships and safety are paramount to healing. I have learned that people are not broken, but surviving. Sometimes, it is how we've learned to survive that no longer serves us. Through looking at attachment patterns over a lifetime, I use EMDR to help target behaviors that no longer serve. I also use elements of ACT, neuroscience, and mindfulness to create a treatment plan that feels safe and creates hope.

Everyone encounters times when they feel confused or overwhelmed by life. There may be particular circumstances that arise, repeated patterns of reaction that become unhelpful, or deeper levels of trauma that seek resolution and understanding. I work to help you with an in-depth examination of your life, your patterns of mind, your relationships with others, and your place in the larger world. This work is not always easy, and can in fact, be quite a challenge. I draw on neuroscience, traditional talk therapy, yoga, body movement, mindfulness and meditation to support you as you gain awareness and make choices about your life.

The most rewarding and fulfilling times in our lives are the times when we feel respected, connected and heard. Often, we feel that our efforts fall short or we are just unable to communicate our desired intentions, either at work or in our personal or family relationships. Sometimes, we need the help of a professional therapist to improve our self-esteem, become more effective communicators or enhance our relationship dynamics. Ms. Benson specializes in helping her clients achieve understanding and mastery over their issues in a professional, comfortable and caring atmosphere.

You must master a new way to think before you can master a new way to be; Maryanne Williamson. To create lasting change at the level of thought requires an acknowledgment and understanding of how the nervous system states influence our brain states and drive our responses to life and to ourselves. I work to help my clients find emotional and spiritual wellness through learning how to manage and navigate the emotional challenges in life. I do this through understanding and working with the nervous system and the body as well as building awareness and challenging thoughts and deeper core beliefs.

You feel so deeply that it’s difficult for you to not feel overwhelmed when faced with decisions. You also feel the need to take every other person's feelings into account, often at your own expense. You have done this for as long as you can remember, and now you’re in a place where you find it challenging to know what it is that you actually want. You regularly feel a sense of loneliness when it feels as though others don’t consider you in the same way. You struggle to find that balance between work and your personal life as it seems the stress of work constantly follows you home.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
