Getting to know Lizbeth Benavides
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to make that first step feel as comfortable and supportive as possible. I believe everyone deserves a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with over a decade of experience in the helping professions. My professional background includes school counseling, special education, trauma-informed care, and private practice. I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing a wide range of emotional and life challenges.
I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and emotional regulation. My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate while also being honest and goal-oriented. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe enough to be challenged, gain new perspectives, and build the skills needed to move forward with confidence.
I use a trauma-informed, person-centered approach that recognizes how past experiences can influence present thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I integrate evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and strengths-based interventions, while tailoring treatment to each client's unique needs and goals.
Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, I strive to create a welcoming environment where healing, growth, and resilience can flourish. Together, we will identify your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and work toward lasting emotional well-being. I also provide services in both English and Spanish to better support the diverse communities I serve.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When you work with me, you can expect a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment where you are treated with compassion, respect, and without judgment. I understand that beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, so I strive to create a space where you feel safe to be yourself while moving at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, recognizing that past experiences often influence how we think, feel, and relate to ourselves and others. I believe healing looks different for everyone, so I tailor each session to your unique needs, strengths, and goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
While I provide empathy and support, I also believe meaningful growth sometimes requires honest conversations and gentle challenges. My role is not only to listen but to help you recognize unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and build the confidence to make lasting changes. Together, we will identify practical tools that you can apply in your daily life, both inside and outside of therapy.
I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and strengths-based interventions to help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, and emotional challenges.
Whether you are seeking therapy for yourself or your child, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Therapy is a partnership, and I am committed to walking alongside you as you work toward healing, resilience, and meaningful change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, relevant life experiences, personal strengths, and the goals you hope to achieve. My priority is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and understood while gathering information that will guide our work together.
From there, we will collaborate to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. I believe therapy should be flexible, so each session is designed to meet you where you are while encouraging meaningful progress. Depending on your concerns, we may explore how past experiences influence your current thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviors while also focusing on practical strategies you can begin using in your daily life.
Throughout the therapeutic process, I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and strengths-based interventions. Together, we will identify patterns, build effective coping skills, strengthen emotional awareness, and work toward lasting change.
My style is warm, collaborative, and supportive while also being honest and goal-oriented. I believe growth happens when clients feel both accepted and appropriately challenged. I will celebrate your successes, help you navigate setbacks with compassion, and encourage you to recognize your strengths as you continue moving forward.
Therapy is a partnership, and my goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel empowered to ask questions, share openly, and develop the confidence and tools needed to create meaningful, lasting change.
