I’m Rachel Benjamin, and I help individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges to build more authentic, connected, and empowered lives. Together, we’ll identify the patterns and barriers that have been holding you back and work toward lasting change around your strengths and values. If you are thinking about starting therapy, or returning after some time away, but feeling unsure, you’re not alone. Taking that first step can bring up a mix of emotions. If you’re wondering whether now is the right time, it likely means you’re ready to begin exploring meaningful change.

Therapist

I believe therapy is a conversation about where you want to go and what stands in your way. Each individual is seen through their potential, not their problems. I am a compassionate listener and a dedicated companion along your path to healing. It's important to create a space where we can confront all obstacles and explore all possibilities together.

Therapist

As a clinician, the most important thing I can give to my clients is trust. Trust that I can hold space for them while they do their work. Trust that I have taken care of myself so that they do not feel the need to take care of me during their healing process. Trust that I have done the work necessary to provide them with best practice, therapy techniques, models, and delivery of care.

Therapist

I have worked with many different issues and people over the last 10 years.

Currently I am focusing on working with patients who have OCD and anxiety disorders, I use ERP (Exposure Response Prevention) therapy designed specifically for anxiety/OCD.

This therapy (ERP) is considered the "gold standard" treatment for OCD due to its high effectiveness.

OCD can be very distressing and the intrusive thoughts and fears can feel unbearable. Know that thoughts are just thoughts they are not YOU.

Therapist

Do you struggle with anxiety, trauma, emotional reactivity, or depression? My approach involves processing painful emotions through psychotherapy and mind/body exercises. Using a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Somatic Experiencing, I teach you skills to respond to life's challenges rather than reacting emotionally. This combination promotes well-being and balances the nervous system.

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.
