Getting to know Amanda Benton

I’m Amanda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Associate; a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, Certified Anger Management - Therapist and a Certified Peer Support Specialist with over 10 years of experience in the mental health and substance use field. My passion for this work comes from both professional training and personal understanding of life’s challenges. I believe that healing begins with connection, and I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can share openly and feel truly heard. My approach is compassionate and collaborative - I walk alongside you as we work through challenges such as: anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and life transitions.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Counseling with me isn’t about quick fixes, but about building skills, discovering strengths, and creating meaningful change at your own pace. My goal is to support you in finding hope, resilience, and a renewed sense of self.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We begin with a comprehensive clinical assessment to gather information about your history and to better understand you and your goals for therapy. From there, we collaboratively develop a personalized treatment plan and establish a therapy schedule that best meets your needs.
