A Place Where Your Mental Wellness Matters
Meet Your Therapist
Welcome!
I’m Carmen Benjamin! I am licensed in MA, ME, MN, NH, RI, SC and TN as an independent clinical social worker who provides individual psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and veterans. I’ve worked in the mental health field for over five years, helping those who struggle with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and PTSD while addressing behavioral and emotional challenges.
I’m passionate about the transformative power of storytelling in therapy. I focus on creating safe, inclusive spaces where clients feel truly heard, seen and supported. My work is deeply rooted in compassion and understanding, reflecting the unique experiences and resilience of my clients.
Outside of my practice, I advocate for mental health in BIPOC communities, host community events, enjoy exploring new cultures, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
Counseling Services Offered
I believe in treating the whole person – not just the symptoms
I use evidenced based practices drawn from a range of modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Narrative Therapy (NT) and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) to address emotional challenges and help clients regain control of their lives. Common challenges I help with:
Depression: Overcome feelings of sadness, hopelessness and lack of motivation.
Grief & Loss: Find healing after the loss of a loved one, relationship or significant life change.
Relationship Issues: Improve communication, resolve conflicts, and deepen your connection with your partner, family or friends.
Life Transitions: Navigate major life changes such as career shifts, relocating, divorce or adjusting to a new phase in life.
Self-Esteem & Confidence: Build your self-worth, self-compassion, and assertiveness to live authentically.
Trauma: Heal from past traumatic experiences and reclaim control of your life.
Ages Served: 15+
My Mission, Values, and Vision
My mission is to provide compassionate, evidenced-based psychotherapy that empowers individuals facing mental health challenges to heal, grow and thrive. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive space where every client is respected, heard, seen and guided toward lasting emotional well-being and personal transformation.
As a psychotherapist, I am guided by the core values of empathy, integrity, respect and empowerment. I believe in honoring each person’s unique story and providing a nonjudgemental, culturally responsive space for healing. I am committed to walking alongside my clients with authenticity and compassion, fostering resilience, self-discovery, and sustainable growth through evidenced-based and person-centered care.
My vision is to create a therapeutic space where every individual struggling with mental health challenges feels seen, heard and valued – empowered to reclaim their lives and achieve emotional wellness. I strive to be a trusted partner in each client’s journey toward healing, fostering a community where mental health is prioritized, stigma is dismantled, and compassionate high-quality care is accessible to all.
