Getting to know Joy Benson
You are not alone in your journey. As an athlete, academic or high achiever, you likely experience fulfillment, but also possibly burnout, and maybe even losing connection with yourself. I provide a supportive environment for the strong performers, overachievers, and reliable individuals to reflect and regain balance.
In therapy, my approach recognizes your innate expertise in navigating your life. As I frequently tell clients—you're at the wheel. I'm simply holding the map to help you on your journey. My aim is to not repair you but to reconnect you with your values, bolster your resilience, and either utilize tools you have or provide additional ones. We will discover what's working, what's heavy, and how to move towards an enhanced and purposeful life.
I support:
- Athletes dealing with performance pressure, injuries, or changes in identity
- Academics, creatives, professionals troubled by burnout, anxiety, or feelings of fraudulence
- High achievers yearning for balance, emotional clarity, and finding purpose beyond success
As an athlete and a high achiever myself, I've experienced the burden of perfectionism and the difficulty of sharing my struggles, driving me to assist others in the same. Clients describe me as warm, relatable, and down-to-earth. My therapy style focuses on collaboration, respect, and providing a space where you are fully recognized not only for your achievement but for the individual you are.
If you are prepared to step away from mere survival and reconnect with your strength, I am here to stand by you.
