Tali Benkoe

I am a clinical social worker with a broad range of experience in supporting individuals through various life challenges. Using psychodynamic and relational approaches, I create a trusting therapeutic relationship that makes room for honest exploration of feelings and experiences. I specialize in working with queer and trans+ adolescents and adults, specifically those from religious or non-accepting communities. Additionally, I have worked with individuals facing serious illness, end-of-life situations, caregiver strain and grief. I provide compassionate support for those dealing with profound life challenges.

Using warmth and humor, my focus as a therapist is to listen deeply and understand you as a unique individual. With time and patience, trauma and shame can be worked through, leading to greater self esteem, social connection and empowerment.
