Nancy Benson

My communication style

I create a warm, trusting environment so that my clients can feel at ease and are able to share freely the issues that are causing them distress.

My journey to mental healthcare

At 14, my parents divorced. That is when I started having issues with anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. I went to a therapist who basically saved me. She taught me coping skills that helped me manage the physical symptoms of the stress I was under at that time. I carried those tools with me and continue to use them today.

My goals for you

I ask the client, "What do you hope to achieve/accomplish by coming to therapy?" From there, we narrow it down to the top 3 things, and we work on those.

Our first session

I typically do an intake and gather information from the client and find out why they are entering counseling at this time.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
