Shana Bennett

I meet clients where they are at. I don't judge at all. I started my clinical career working with teens and tweens in a school setting and became adept in Aggression Replacement Training for anger management. I loved working with kids and their families my training in Exposure Response Prevention allowed me to assist students who were struggling with anxiety disorders, such as social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. My desire to help beyond the academic atmosphere propelled me to start my own private practice 13 years ago where I now specialize in treating anxiety and eating disorders in youths and adults, along with depression, mood disorders, and other co-occurring disorders.

I allow for client led therapy, where I meet my clients where they are at. I do not try to push them to go beyond their level of comfort, however, I am not judgmental at all. I usually dare clients to say something that will shock me because nothing does. My main objective is to build rapport and trust in the therapeutic relationship so I can best help people reach their treatment goals.

I try to set a relaxed, non sterile environment (whether virtual or in person) for clients. A space that is discernment free and allows individuals to feel safe in sharing their stories, current issues and symptoms as well as any other information so we can collaborate in establishing therapeutic goals and treatment approaches moving forward.
