Mariah Benjamin

Mariah Benjamin

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


Many of my clients are young adults, POC, professionals and those coming to therapy for the first time. My clients look okay on the outside but feel overwhelmed internally by anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. They ruminate, struggle to say no, and live with a sense of pressure that never lets up. My approach is rooted in CBT, and I use techniques to retrain your brain, and defuse negative thought patterns. I guide individuals to identify unhelpful thinking, challenge internalized pressure, and set boundaries that align with their values. Clients can expect to feel more mentally clear, emotionally grounded, and in control of their choices—ultimately becoming the version of themselves they aspire to be.
