James Benoit

In seeking support, you have shifted your perspective toward growth and healing. Human beings are social creatures. We need others. We are hurt by others. We heal in relation to others. We all need support during the challenging times life throws our way. You may feel like you have been here before, and that’s normal. You have likely tried countless approaches to resolve a conflict and have run out of solutions. Some days and some conversations feel impossible to start. You might call it stress, anxiety, fear, depression, or heaviness, or see those traits in your child or loved one. Whatever its name, your work has begun. I work with individuals and couples in life transitions, strengthening communication, relationship exploration, and identity development. I use an eclectic approach combining Evidence Based Practices with mindfulness, experiential, existential, and creative modalities. We will find an approach that works for you to focus on the areas you want to target. My goal and privilege is to meet you where you are. We will tap into your strengths to help you cultivate the changes and life you envision. Counseling helps us see the impediments in our way, devise our plan, and advocate for our own version of change. I welcome you to reach out for a free initial consultation about your needs and how I can provide support.
