Great to meet you!

Welcome! My name is Giovanni Benavides, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York.

With 20 years of experience providing compassionate and client-centered care, I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges, foster personal growth, and achieve their mental health goals.

My mission is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to share their stories and explore meaningful change.

My approach to therapy

I integrate a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities tailored to each client’s needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused approaches.

My style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative, fostering an environment where we work together to uncover your strengths and overcome obstacles.

What you can expect from me

I believe that therapy is a space for exploration, healing, and empowerment. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem issues, or navigating life transitions, I am here to guide and support you on your journey toward a healthier and more fulfilling life.
