Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Beaumont, TX

I'm an LPC based in Texas who works with adults navigating addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the kind of stress that doesn't go away after a good night's sleep. I'm not the therapist who nods quietly and lets you talk in circles — I'm engaged, I'm direct, and I'll genuinely challenge you when I think it'll help. I also believe laughter belongs in the therapy room. Healing doesn't have to be a grim process, and some of the most meaningful breakthroughs I've witnessed have happened mid-joke. I offer telehealth sessions throughout Texas and accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Ascension.

Dr. Victoria Benson, DNP, APRN-CNP, PMHNP-BC, is a Board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) with 17 years of experience in health care and 4 years of experience in psychiatry treatments.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Alone? Misunderstood? Do you feel emotionally out of control? Would you like to create a life that is not so messy? Do you just want to feel heard and validated? The painful issues we experience in our lives, when faced without emotional support or someone to simply acknowledge this pain, will rob us of our joy. I want to be the person that helps you navigate through your difficulties, so that you can learn to manage emotions in healthy ways, take control of your life, and rewrite your life narrative without the mess. I will listen without judgment, be fully present in the moments we spend together, and work collaboratively with you on finding solutions. I believe that you are the expert on your life, and with my unconditional support, you will begin to improve your mental health, so that this story of your life is being written joyfully by YOU!

Taking the first step toward change isn’t easy—but you’ve already done it by starting your search for a therapist.

Now, I invite you to take the next step and schedule your first appointment. Whether that’s with me or another provider, what matters most is that you commit to investing in yourself.

You deserve support, healing, and a space where you can grow. If you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I take a motivational and strengths-based approach to counseling, offering encouragement and support as you navigate your path through life’s challenges.

As a dedicated therapist with over 12 years of experience, I am passionate about helping adolescents, adults, and couples navigate life’s challenges. I believe in creating a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where clients feel truly heard and supported.

I specialize in supporting clients (Spanish & English) navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, and cultural or ethnic identity-related concerns. I am passionate about my profession. I enjoy teaching social work and providing social work services. I believe that social work is a calling and therefore, I am being called to serve.

I obtained a bachelor's in Social Work at Prairie View A & M University and a Masters in Social Work at the University of Houston. I am a native Houstonian, and bilingual (Spanish/English.)

My focus has been on helping people cope with trauma, physical, sexual or emotional. I graduated from Texas Tech in 2015 with my master's in Community Mental Health Counseling.

Trauma can change the way you see yourself, others, and the world around you. Whether you've experienced domestic violence, childhood abuse, or other painful life events, you may find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly on guard. Healing is possible, and you do not have to navigate that journey alone. As a licensed counselor with experience working with survivors of trauma, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can process your experiences, regain a sense of control, and move toward a life that feels more fulfilling and meaningful.
