I am a Georgia Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider. I am trained to provide individual, couples, and family counseling for adolescents and adults experiencing a range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, depressive disorders, and trauma- and stressor-related conditions.
I am always seeking ways to advance my knowledge in the counseling field, to broaden my horizon with specialty topics, and to best serve diverse populations.
Hi, I’m Shanae Benito, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with support, compassion, and practical tools for change. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions. My approach combines evidence-based practices including TF-MCBT (Trauma-Focused Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) while creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and seen. I believe healing is not about having all the answer. It's about taking the next step forward together.
Stressed? Anxious ? Depressed?
I am board certified and I advocate for mental health. Asking for help can be intimidating, so I applauded you taking the first step, I have 20+ years of working with clients ages 18 and older. Specializing in stress management, depression, anxiety and family issues.
Hey! I’m Carey, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor here in Georgia. I am a University of Georgia graduate then continued my education at Thomas University. I enjoy working with mostly adolescents and young adults, although I accept adults as well, who may be feeling anxious, depressed, or simply going through a tough time. I view counseling as a partnership where both the client and counselor work together to achieve the goals that the client sets for themselves, and I am always excited and try my best to help those goals come to fruition.
I chose counseling after my own journey, and I always dream of being the counselor that I needed when I was younger and seeking help.
As a therapist, my approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and the belief that every person has the capacity for growth and healing. I create a space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel understood, supported, and valued. Together, we’ll explore what you’re carrying, build insight, and develop practical tools that fit your life. My goal is to help you feel empowered, encouraged, and equipped to move toward the version of yourself you want to become.
Hi there, my name is Shanice and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Georgia. I have a passion for helping to guide clients towards a better version of themselves. Life is full of complex challenges, my goal as a therapist is to lighten the load with genuiness and skill. My clinical experience includes veterans, women's issues, men's issues, leadership, oncology, and grief. I am also a breast cancer survivor; intertwining my professional and personal life experiences educate and advocate for those in active treatment as well as survivorship.
I’ve been serving individuals, families, and communities in behavioral health for over 20 years. My experience spans community mental health, substance abuse treatment, employee assistance programs, probation and parole systems, juvenile courts, and crisis intervention settings.
I’ve worked closely with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, substance use, life transitions, court involvement, workplace stress, and family conflict. I understand how overwhelming it can feel when multiple systems — work, family, legal, or financial — are weighing on you at once.
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, exhausted, or unsure where to start. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out. My role is to help you sort through what feels heavy, clarify what needs attention first, and create a practical plan for change.
I bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding. I’ve collaborated with courts, DFCS, probation officers, and corporate employers — so I understand the pressures that can impact your mental health from all angles.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Georgia
Searching for therapists in Georgia starts with finding someone whose training fits your needs. Across the state, therapy options vary between larger cities, suburbs, and rural areas, so it helps to look closely at each therapist’s specialties and approach. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions, review whether a therapist lists experience with those concerns. You can also look for approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Your search may look different in Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, or other parts of Georgia. Some people prefer in-person appointments close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions to fit care into their schedule. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand how they describe their style, what a first session may include, and whether their background matches what you want from therapy.
The cost of mental health care in Georgia varies, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for Georgia therapists who are accepting new clients, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, and your exact coverage depends on your plan and location. You can browse therapists, compare profiles, and book directly when you are ready.
