You’re the go-to person - the one everyone relies on. Your friends and family see you as competent, put-together, and strong. And while that’s helped you achieve, the pressure to meet such high expectations is exhausting. You spend so much time caring for other people’s needs that your own get lost in the process. Saying no feels like a risk. What if the relationship falls apart? What if they see the real you and decide it’s not enough? On the outside, your life looks great. Inside, you’re strug...

As a therapist, I aim to be as authentic, supportive, and direct as possible; helping you to work on the obstacles standing in the way of reaching your goals. Sometimes this simply means experiencing an accepting and validating environment otherwise unavailable. Alternatively, this may consist of having an emotionally safe space to communicate with your partner or family. My approach depends on your goals for our work together and what degree of challenge you feel ready for. Conflict or connecti...

I view therapy not only as a means of reducing emotional distress but also as an approach to personal growth. However, I believe that therapy should not be a way of life and I therefore support clients in developing concrete skills, with emphasis on working with emotions: promoting a better understanding of emotions and emotion regulation. I view therapy as a collaborative process of exploration. I bring to this process an attitude of compassionate curiosity and non-judgment. I also draw on...
My approach is warm, perceptive, and clarifying. I primarily use the IFS model, which posits that we each contain an ecology of different parts that each have a valuable role to play within us. When these parts develop roles that are in conflict with one another, or with our external world, we can experience distress, confusion, disconnection, and shame. I work with clients to explore these areas with curiosity, compassion, and courage in service to promoting greater ease and sense of meaning in...

I can support you by providing treatment that is non-judgmental, compassionate, collaborative and with a focus on what is most important to you. We will work together to develop some personal goals to help you move forward in your life....
As we grow and develop life throws at us a series of experiences and challenges. We learn to navigate our environment and relationships through these experiences. As a therapist I have the utmost respect for the ways in which people have approached their lives. It is not my goal to tell someone how to live. My role is to provide a relationship and a dedicated time to think openly about your experience. Sometimes we lose sight of the meaning and spend time trying to convince ourselves of somethin...
My goal is to offer you support, help you maintain personal balance, and move towards a life that reflects your own unique potential. I will meet you where you are by using a strengths-based perspective to build on what already works well for you. Together we will honor what has gotten you this far, and discover what is holding you back. My approach to healing is based in the experience of the present moment. Much of our human experience is lost when we focus our attention on the past (regrets,...

Attending college can be a difficult transition including adapting to new academic challenges, living situations and relationships. Feeling overwhelmed is normal but talking to someone can help you put things in perspective and regain a sense of control. Whether you are depressed, anxious, facing a crisis or just looking for someone to listen, counseling can help. I have experience working with college students and will help you navigate whatever is going on for you in a trusting, non-judgmen...
Hey Hey Hey! I’m Lenora Benson (She/Her/Hers), LICSW and I support black and ethnic minority women, in navigating the challenges and expectations imposed on them by the fallacy of the strong black women. I support all women in navigating the social expectations, stressors, and demands of being woman, as they intersect in all areas of racism, sexism, and patriarchism. I believe in the transformative power of therapy, because it has transformed me personally. As your therapist, I provide a safe,...
