Getting to know Leisha Benjamin

My name's Leisha Benjamin. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with 20 years of experience working in the field of counseling with various populations. I earned my Master's in Professional Counseling from Argosy University. I like taking a non-judgmental approach when working with people who are re-discovering themselves as they navigate through life challenges. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and client-centered therapy. I also use mindfulness techniques because I believe staying in the moment is so important. I will tailor our dialogue and therapy to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I will spend the first session gathering information relevant to your family history, and your current problems and needs. I will then work with you to formulate a treatment plan that best fits your therapy needs based on your problems. This will also be a rapport building session, in which we can build a working relationship together. I believe building rapport will help to foster trust, and a sense of direction to determine whether we're a good fit to work together.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
