Getting to know Shantae Bennett

Hi there, I'm Shantae! I work with individuals and couples who are going through a hard time, feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like life has just gotten too heavy to carry alone. Together, we’ll look at how past experiences and trauma may be affecting you today, and I use EMDR, Brainspotting, and other evidence-based tools to help you move forward with more clarity, calm, and connection." My approach I believe therapy should be a safe space to open up, be vulnerable, and feel deeply seen without judgment. My approach is warm, attuned, and focused on helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface. I work with individuals and couples navigating the weight of trauma, anxiety, or disconnection, whether it shows up as reactivity, shutdown, people-pleasing, or difficulty communicating their needs. Together, we slow things down so you can make sense of your patterns, heal old wounds, and move toward more clarity and connection. I integrate EMDR, Brainspotting, and the Gottman Method, along with an openness to exploring spirituality, meaning, and identity if that feels important to you. Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to hold it all together. Just bring your honest self and we’ll work from there. My focus I work best with individuals and couples who feel like they are carrying more than they can manage, whether it is anxiety, past trauma, relationship tension, or the lingering effects of people-pleasing and emotional shutdown. My clients are often self-aware but overwhelmed, craving deeper connection, clarity, and relief. I help them slow down, tune in, and begin to understand what is beneath their patterns. Whether we are processing unresolved experiences through EMDR or Brainspotting, or strengthening communication and emotional safety in relationships, I create a space where clients can be real, feel supported, and move toward lasting change.
