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 allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I love Benita - she has been so amazingly helpful during this quarantine. I’m so thankful for the guidance.
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.
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.
