My name is Leisha Benjamin. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 plus years of experience working with a variety of mental health populations in various settings. I have a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology and a Bachelor's Degree in Rehabilitation Psychology. I'm challenged each day to incorporate the best clinical strategies I've come to learn and master over the years. I possess the ability to establish rapport quickly; build trust; interact and relate to individuals. I find that CBT-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; DBT-Dialectcal Behavioral Therapy (s) when engaging in therapy with clients are the most effective forms of clinical strategies, and are the two I most often use. These are evidenced based practice Treatment Modalities, and can be applied to a variety of issues such as depression; anxiety; stress management; PTSD etc. I've attended many workshops over the years to gain valuable knowledge and tools to utilize these Modalities effectively, and I'm confident in my ability to employ them. I also utilize Mindfulness techniques and strategies to address anxiety, stress and sleep issues.

Hello! You can call me Kalene (Kay-lean)! I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2015 and a social worker since 2013. I am experienced and what I like to call seasoned, as life has taught me many things through times of sorrow, pain, grief, and, other times, so much joy. My knowledge also comes from higher education and practice of that knowledge throughout my career. Each year, I meet licensing requirements by yearly obtaining continuing educational credits. Additionally, I am a doctorate student who completed all coursework with a 4.0 and in the research phase. Further, I am well-rounded and have experience working with young and older clients. Serving ten years in the military taught me how to and the importance of working with an array of different people from various backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, religions, sexualities, and overall different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. My passion is in supporting others through multiple parts of their journeys utilizing practical, evidence-based approaches. Some therapy strategies may include cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing techniques, supportive therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness, whole health, and a variety of other strategies or a mixture thereof. I want you to know that therapy is a process. The changes you want to see will only happen after some time, more than likely, but will result from various interactions we will have together, which will make a difference. I often refer to therapy as going to a chiropractor. You do not go to a chiropractor and say give me a spine. You have a spine, and all you need is an alignment. This means you are the true expert in your life, and you do have what you need. My plan in this current stage of your journey is to help you use what you have; sometimes, it just takes aligning things differently. I look forward to supporting you by first listening, clarifying what is heard, and advocating for your individuality, even in your partnership or marriage. Therapy strategies are not a one-size-fits-all. If you do not wish to have someone highly motivated, a positive and rational thinker who continually supports the use of your strengths and believes that YOU CAN every time, then I am not the one for you. I also incorporate many coaching and motivational principles as they are a part of my personality. Remember, you are unique, and for me to adjust what is needed, I will need your feedback and honesty regarding what is working or what you may need more. I look forward to supporting you during this part of your journey. Please participate and trust the process. Trust is a big word, but it will be well worth the journey!

In addition to my licensure, I hold the Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider and Human Services-Board Certified Practitioner credentials from the Center for Credentialing and Education. I am also a certified Clinical Trauma Professional and certified specialist in anger management and grief/loss. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals navigate these challenges with compassion, support, and understanding. What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you? The first session is all about building trust and creating a strong foundation for our work together. I’ll ask thoughtful questions designed to understand your unique experiences, perspectives, and goals. It’s an opportunity for us to establish a safe and open space where you can share what’s important to you, and I can gain a deeper understanding of how I can best support you. This session is not just about gathering information—it’s about making sure we’re on the same page, with a clear understanding of what you hope to achieve moving forward. While this first meeting serves as a starting point, I want to emphasize that our approach will be tailored to your needs and preferences. Over time, we’ll refine our work together to ensure it stays aligned with your evolving goals and personal growth. Ultimately, this is a collaborative, supportive journey, and I’m here to help guide you every step of the way. Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths. In my sessions, I strive to create an environment that feels safe, compassionate, and empowering. I understand that therapy often involves vulnerability, so I focus on building a space where clients feel truly seen, understood, and supported. My tone is both empathetic and encouraging—I meet each client where they are, offering validation and kindness, while gently challenging them to grow. Our work together is collaborative and client-centered. I tailor my approach to each individual, incorporating creativity and practical strategies to promote healing, skill-building, and self-discovery. Above all, my clients often share that they feel respected and heard, with the freedom to explore their thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve. With 6 years of experience, I specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals and families dealing with a wide range of concerns, including anger/aggression, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
