Getting to know Marcus Benson

Clients seek treatment not only to make a connection with someone, but to see concrete changes in their lives. You’ve made the first, BIG step by asking for help. Being vulnerable can be scary, but it is absolutely necessary to overcome the challenges that we face. Whether you’re struggling with a recent trauma, an unhealthy relationship, or just feeling anxious and/ or depressed, I would absolutely love to help you on your journey towards finding the best version of yourself. My approach As a therapist, my approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients gain practical tools and insight into the challenges they’re facing. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief, my focus is on helping you understand the “why” behind your experiences and then working together to find the “how” for moving forward. I believe in creating a supportive and nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen and empowered to make meaningful change. Therapy with me is active, respectful, and centered around your strengths. My focus I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by life’s transitions, weighed down by loss, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. My goal is to meet you wherever you are in your journey and help you build resilience, clarity, and confidence. I also understand the unique emotional burdens that come with being a caregiver—I entered this field after years of caring for my disabled sister, and that personal experience shapes the empathy and dedication I bring to my work. Whether you're looking for support with everyday stress or deeper healing from the past, I'm here to help you move toward the life you want.
