Hello, my name is Destiny Benson, and I am a limited licensed social worker. Thank you for taking time out to consider me as your therapeutic partner. I realize life in general can be a lot, and at times, may even cause you to feel as if you are not at your best. Regardless of what you are going through, I want you to know that you are not alone.

Counseling can be used as a positive and beneficial way to cope and heal through life’s challenges. I would be honored to have the opportunity to assist you on your healing journey.

This is a team effort, and I see the best in all my clients, even when they don’t. I am confident that with both of our strengths combined, we will be able to identify effective solutions and mechanisms that will not only allow you to survive your situation but thrive in a way that makes you feel empowered and whole.

I am trained to work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, relationship issues, and life’s daily stressors, to name a few. My therapeutic style is a holistic blend of healing, empowerment, and strength-based approaches, while utilizing evidence-based practices, to help individuals address their unique challenges. I am excited at the possibility of working together, as we capitalize on your strengths and meet your personal goals. Take care and I look forward to meeting you soon.
