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.

Greetings! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Georgia. I am originally from New York and have over 12 years of counseling experience. I have and continue to work with clients who have had challenges with anxiety, depression, relationships, military families, parenting, foster care, changing careers, domestic violence, trauma, and emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I am committed to helping everyday people who experience everyday problems. I believe in allowing clients to set their own treatment goals and help them when they are unable to identify where to begin. I use humor and a gentle, yet direct approach during therapy. I pull from various theories to help clients but focus on how one’s thoughts, feelings and actions are connected and play a role into maladaptive behaviors. I enjoy engaging clients in the therapeutic process using various tools, therapeutic activities and homework assignments for clients who need "a little something extra".
