NaTasha Benjamin

Peace! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Certified Perinatal Mental Health clinician (PMH-C), and Approved Clinical Supervisor in the State of Maryland. I have 20+ years of cumulative experience working in a variety of capacities serving individuals, families, and couples through difficulties experienced with mental health due to navigating life challenges, relationship discord, and other issues that may arise. I have 14 years of cumulative licensed clinical experience, and am currently licensed and based in Maryland.

I am currently a doctoral student in the Counselor Education and Supervision with a concentration in Social Justice Counseling at Bowie State University and am in my practicum/internship. In collaboration with Dr. Arielle Jordan and Mindset Quality, LLC; my aim is to further utilize clinical expertise and culturally-responsive approaches to treating trauma-related experiences and to support individuals towards self-efficacy in coping with life's challenges.

***Please note, for clients who see me under Mindset Quality, LLC, this is a time-limited clinical offering aligned with scholastic semesters of Bowie State University from Fall 2026-Fall 2027.***

I create a space for hope and healing that allows for self-discovery, empowerment, and collaboration that reinforces the importance of communal healing instead of feeling alone through your respective circumstances. I also incorporate expressive arts, meditation, and a wellness-focused approach into my therapy offerings to provide support, insight, and skills curated for the unique experiences of people of Color.

I have treated clinical problems that include Perinatal Mental Health, Depression, Anxiety, childhood trauma, Adjustment Disorders, physical and sexual abuse, ADHD, Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Personality Disorders. I also have experience with transgenerational trauma and racism-related issues, parent-child relational problems, academic failure, problematic social media use, self-injurious and suicidal behaviors, relationship issues, and issues that members of the LGBTQIA+ community experience that may complicate their lives and relationships.

I have provided a wealth of counseling interventions, including person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavior therapy, dialectical-behavior therapy, brief psychodynamic therapy, interpersonal therapy, behavior modification, solution-focused brief therapy, and motivational interviewing. I have used counseling techniques from these varied theoretical approaches, grounded in feminist theory; and use evidence-based interventions that are trauma-focused, understanding how unresolved grief and trauma our lives can be impacted without the support of someone who can walk with you versus talk at you.

I create a space that allows you to feel heard, valued, respected, and understood in a way that you may not have experienced with other therapists. Understanding that coming into therapy may be a scary or unfamiliar experience, I focus on promoting comfort and ease in rapport building from the beginning and throughout the therapeutic relationship. I provide a warm, compassionate, and caring environment for healing that reflects my authenticity and passion for helping others as they learn to better help themselves; where you are the expert in the room, and I am a copilot on your journey to wellness and life satisfaction.
