Sharilee Benjamin

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a focus on trauma, anxiety, emotional regulation, and the mind-body connection. Many of the individuals I work with describe feeling overwhelmed internally while still appearing capable and composed on the outside. In our work together, we explore both the emotional and physical responses that come with stress, history, and expectations so you can better understand yourself, find relief that lasts beyond the session, and move through life with a stronger sense of confidence and steadiness.

My approach is trauma informed, practical, and grounded in both cognitive and somatic modalities. We spend time understanding why your mind and body respond the way they do and identifying what those responses are trying to protect or communicate. Therapy is collaborative and goes at a pace that feels right for you. Some sessions may focus more on building strategies to support daily functioning, while others move into deeper processing or learning new ways of relating to yourself and others. The goal is not only insight but a felt sense of change in your day to day life.

You can expect a space that is compassionate, steady, and honest. I offer clear feedback, practical tools, and opportunities to build emotional and physical regulation so you can navigate challenges with more ease. Clients often share that they leave sessions with a better understanding of their reactions, more confidence in their choices, and a growing ability to respond rather than spiral. Over time, therapy can create room for self trust, calmer relationships, and a life that feels more aligned with who you are and what you value.
