I am an eclectic therapist who is trained in DBT. I work collaboratively to ensure my clients have the awareness and skills to regain control over their emotional responses, improve their interpersonal effectiveness, and develop their inner strength.

Collaborative goal setting and continuous discussion about progress and treatment direction.

I have a kind and down to earth demeaner. I will work with my clients in a compassionate and mindful way and challenge them in a gentle manner.

I work with adolescents, college-aged students/young adults who are experiencing ongoing distress, relationship issues, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and depression.

It led me to wanting to learn more about what I was experiencing and after attending my own therapy, it really sparked the passion.

Hi, my name is Joel Benavente and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has a strong desire to help facilitate meaningful, lasting change for the better in all of my client's lives.
