She really jelly me cope and learn new coping strategies. Although I feel like I’m all better now, I can’t seem to cancel the session.

Benita has been such a pleasure to work with. I have benefited greatly from speaking with her, I definitely feel a lot more in control of my life since we’ve started speaking. Our sessions always give me a boost of positivity, reminding me that all will be well in my life if I keep moving forward with intention. If I knew I could find a counselor like Benita I would have started therapy years ago!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Benita is an effective therapist. She not only listens but hears my concerns. She demonstrates that she understands the challenges of dealing with a narcissistic person in a work environment and has offered advice that fits the situational context.

I am very grateful to have Benita helping me through this time in my life. She is really helping understand years of bad behavior that I was extremely scared to uncover. I would definitely recommend her as a therapist to friends.

Reviewed May 2020

For 2 years I was on the fence about being in talk therapy again, but Covid 19 is here and it felt like a necessary move. I have a history of PTSD it is good to have someone to reach out to. I immediately felt comfortable and validated in speaking with Benita and therapy does not feel so daunting anymore.

Benita is very experienced and offered sound advice. She is also extremely personable and great to talk to. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to experience a session with her. My mental health is much better with her help.

Benita is a great counselor. I came here mostly because I just needed someone to listen to me talk. She truly is a great listener. I feel supported in the feelings I share with her. I have always felt the need to stay in a judgment free zone when choosing company. She feels like a friend I am comfortable talking to and can confide in. I came with a myriad of topics to cover and she’s qualified in each area. I enjoy my sessions with her.
