Kathleen Benoit, LICSW

Mental Health Clinician, Owner

Languages: English

I am a therapist dedicated to supporting clients as they navigate life’s many challenges, including academic pressures, career transitions, relationships, and family dynamics. My clinical experience includes working with individuals facing Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, and the LGBTQ+ population. I believe everyone deserves a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can express themselves freely, without the weight of others’ expectations. My goal is to provide a welcoming, supportive environment where healing and growth can take place.

My practice is grounded in a Strengths-Based approach, which emphasizes identifying and building upon your existing abilities and resilience. By focusing on what you already do well, we create a foundation for growth that is collaborative, empowering, and sustainable. This approach not only supports progress toward your personal goals but also fosters long-term effectiveness and confidence in your ability to navigate life’s challenges.

At the heart of my work is talk-based therapy, where real conversation leads the way. I value authenticity, humor, and honesty—because therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or clinical to be effective. Sometimes a laugh can bring as much relief as a breakthrough, and I believe that being real with each other creates a stronger connection. My goal is to meet you where you are, with openness and compassion, so we can work together in a way that feels natural, supportive, and genuinely helpful.

Mental Health Counselor

Languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish

I’m a licensed mental health counselor who truly cares about creating a safe, supportive space where people feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, parent/child concerns, and many of life’s difficult transitions.

I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming. Opening up about painful or uncomfortable parts of your life takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’ve dedicated myself to learning the skills needed to walk alongside people during these moments, at a pace that feels right for them. For me, this work is more than a career — it’s a calling.

I meet each person with openness, respect, and genuine compassion. I believe in seeing the whole person, honoring your unique experiences, and creating a welcoming environment where you feel heard, supported, and valued. My goal is for therapy to feel like a space where you can breathe, feel understood, and begin moving toward healing in a way that feels authentic to you.

I am committed to creating an inclusive, affirming space where people of all identities, backgrounds, and sexual orientations feel safe, respected, and valued.

Mental Health Counselor

In today’s world, building a better life for yourself can sometimes feel like a luxury—something we rarely have the time or energy to focus on. The constant presence of change, stress, and uncertainty can leave us feeling like we’re in “emergency mode,” and it’s all too easy to find ourselves stuck in cycles of isolation, depression, or anxiety.

My goal as a therapist is to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and clarity. Together, we’ll identify your existing strengths, explore the personal values that matter most to you, and learn how to work with difficult thoughts and emotions rather than against them. By doing so, we can create a pathway toward greater resilience, balance, and a stronger sense of self.

I bring experience from a variety of settings, including residential treatment, college counseling, outpatient substance use, and crisis intervention. I also have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ+ community, providing a supportive, affirming space where individuals can explore their identities, relationships, and unique challenges without fear of judgment.

As a therapist with years of both professional and personal life experience, I understand how age brings perspective. I value meeting clients where they are, recognizing the wisdom that comes with lived experience, and helping to integrate that into the work we do together.

My therapeutic approach draws from mindfulness-based practices, person-centered theory, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), allowing me to tailor our sessions to your unique needs while keeping our work grounded, supportive, and collaborative.
