Therapist

Hello, looking for a place to process life? Feeling isolated and alone? Need an outlet? I've been providing talk therapy to adult men and women (and adolescents) since 2013 in several different treatment settings. Safe, open, supportive, but also directive when solutions are needed though space to simply talk through issues and life (Depression, anxiety, hypomania, stress, relationships, relaxation, etc.) I'm a clinical supervisor and terminally licensed in three states (PA,NM, & TX). I'm a husband and father with a young family, enjoy sports and cooking with and for family.

Renee Benavidez

Renee Benavidez

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


Welcome. I am Renee Benavidez, LPCC, and I earned my master’s degree from New Mexico Highlands University in 2012, dedicating my entire 14-year career to supporting both teenagers and adults. While I spent my first 11 years guiding court-committed individuals, I have spent the last three years focusing on the broader community to help clients heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and adjustment disorders. My primary approach is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a powerful tool that helps process and heal deep-rooted wounds. Nothing brings me more joy than witnessing the inspiring, positive transformations my clients make as they reclaim their lives and well-being.

Linda Dodds

Therapist

Virtual • Santa Fe, NM


I have been a counselor in varied settings. It is my calling. I want to make you feel comfortable and safe when you talk with me. I also want feedback from you if you have any concerns. I do have a master's degree in human development and family relations. I prefer to work with adults and older adolescents. I am certified in DBT and I am working on certification in Trauma treatment and the psychological treatment of ADHD. While I am straight, I am allied with the LBGTQI clients. I like working on relationship area, trauma, trauma and substance abuse, mood disorders, victims of narcisstic abuse, victims of domestic violence. My approach to therapy is eclectic, but I do try to empower clients and help them change old, negative thought patterns that are keeping them from moving forward and accomplishing their goals.
