Getting to know Charlene Benefiel

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience helping individuals heal from trauma and move toward a more fulfilling life. I recently earned a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) certification, highlighting my passion for the working with people who have experienced trauma in their lives. I specialize in trauma recovery and have a strong background in supporting clients through a wide range of challenges including depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, personality disorders, and complex life transitions. In addition to trauma-focused work, I also provide support for relationship concerns—including couples therapy, navigating divorce, co-parenting, and custody-related issues. I have worked with clients from diverse backgrounds and across various age groups, tailoring care to each individual's needs. My approach is person-centered, strength-based, and grounded in trauma-informed care. I utilize evidence-based techniques to promote healing and growth, drawing from positive psychotherapy and other proven interventions. My goal is to create a validating, supportive space where clients feel safe exploring their challenges and empowered to create lasting change. I currently offer mental health services virtually, providing flexibility and accessibility to those I serve. I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Waynesburg University, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in Social Science and a minor in Psychology, and later earned my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with honors. My passion for helping others is deeply personal—rooted in the support I once received during my own struggles. This fuels my commitment to specialize in PTSD and trauma recovery, and to help my clients reconnect with meaning, happiness, and purpose in their lives. I strive to help individuals make meaningful connections between their past experiences, current behaviors, and future goals.
