Psychotherapist and Neurofeedback provider Benner Psychotherapy LLC
Specialties: Codependency, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Parenting,

Introduction

Seeking help for the personal struggles you are facing takes courage and persistence. I learned this firsthand as a young college student away from home for the first time and facing some of my own painful life circumstances. The help I received inspired me to become a therapist and I have felt privileged to do this work ever since. I have over 25 years of experience helping adults and adolescents in individual, family and couples therapy. My approach combines the skilled listening of a well trained ear with caring, warmth and pointed questions, allowing your personal story to unfold. Therapy is intended to be a safe, confidential place for you to deal with painful losses, past hurts, current anxieties, difficult relationships and stubborn habits. I do my best to be as genuine and real as possible while maintaining the boundaries which make a therapeutic relationship unique. In order to provide excellent care, my training never ends. I continue to be in consultation with esteemed colleagues in order to remain up to date on cutting edge advances in emotional health. Most recently, my focus has expanded to include a mind-body approach where we incorporate techniques that directly address the impact of stress, anxiety, trauma and depression on the body in order to improve emotional regulation. When appropriate, I offer neurofeedback as a modality to directly address brain patterns that may have you feeling stuck.
