Maria Benavides

My communication style

I provide comprehensive therapy sessions with a positive environment that allows you to put yourself first. I provide a non-judgmental environment to help identify the root of emotional suffering and to start a healing journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, mental health was never a topic of discussion, and I saw the disadvantage of this in my household. For this reason, I am passionate about helping others and want to help individuals attain the services they need.

My goals for you

My goal is to make you feel comfortable, allow you to be an advocate for yourself, and provide the right tools to get you to where you want to be.

Our first session

During the first session, my main focus is to build rapport, discuss the client's history, complete a questionnaire to identify symptoms, and identify coping skills that work for you.
