Jamie Benitez, LMSW
Hi, my name is Jamie Benitez and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker. I have dedicated my life's work to helping children, adolescents, and young adults in navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and overall mental and emotional health.
I have a background in education and therapy along with being yoga teacher certified. I am trained in trauma therapy, CBT and use different therapeutic modalities including art, Humanistic, Acceptance and Commitment, and Body-Mind to name a few. I explore with each client the obstacles they face and challenges they want to overcome. With this information I integrate a therapeutic approach that is designed specifically to fit the needs and healing of each client.
I have a passion in working with kids from my work experience in the school system and non-profit therapy settings. Although my background is working with children and adolescents, I am open to working with any age range, from individuals to couples. It is my belief building a strong mental and emotional foundation within a person, whether it be a child, adolescent, young adult or beyond, is key to living a full and abundant life.
