Laura Benchie, LPC

Psychotherapist
MO
Hello, my name is Laura Benchie, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Art Therapist (ATR-BC), and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) based in St. Louis, MO. I hold a Master’s degree in Art Therapy from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. With over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults, I am dedicated to improving mental health and providing effective, individualized care to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach My therapy approach varies based on each client’s needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Art Therapy techniques. These modalities help me understand the client and allow us to work together and move forward. My focus I find my approach fits children, teens, and young adults dealing with social pressures and life challenges, often manifesting as anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and relationship problems. I help clients navigate these challenges and build skills to feel better and develop a more positive outlook. My communication style Welcome to a safe, supportive space where you can find guidance and encouragement to overcome difficulties. I want clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on listening without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been drawn to helping people through difficult times, which led me to become a therapist. Whether a friend or community member, I love seeing people become their best selves and live fulfilling lives. My goals for you I will work with you to identify and build on your strengths, establish goals, and promote positive change. I’d like to help you navigate challenges and rediscover your true potential individually and in your relationships.
