Cynthia Benson Therapy

I have dedicated my career to empowering individuals and couples in the Tri-Cities area to navigate life's challenges and cultivate fulfilling relationships. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 34 years of experience, I offer a compassionate and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My passion lies in helping individuals overcome emotional obstacles, build stronger connections with themselves and others, and ultimately achieve their personal growth goals.

My Approach to Therapy

My therapeutic approach is rooted in a holistic understanding of each client's unique needs and experiences. I believe that every individual possesses the inherent strength and resilience to heal and thrive. To facilitate this process, I integrate a variety of evidence-based techniques tailored to each client's specific concerns. Whether you're struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other emotional challenge, my goal is to provide a safe and empowering environment for you to work through your struggles and discover lasting solutions.

A Focus on Individual and Couples Needs

I specialize in working with individuals and couples seeking to improve their well-being and strengthen their relationships. For individuals, therapy can provide a valuable opportunity to gain self-awareness, manage stress, build coping mechanisms, and foster personal growth.

In couples therapy, I strive to create a collaborative space where partners can communicate effectively, resolve conflicts constructively, and deepen their emotional connection. My commitment is to empower couples to build a stronger and more fulfilling relationship based on mutual respect, understanding, and compassion.

Addressing a Wide Range of Issues

My expertise encompasses a broad spectrum of mental health concerns, including:

• Relationship Issues: Communication challenges, conflicts, infidelity, separation, and divorce.
• Depression and Anxiety: Managing symptoms, coping with overwhelming feelings, and developing healthy emotional regulation strategies.
• Trauma: Processing past traumatic experiences, overcoming its impact, and building resilience.
• Grief and Loss: Navigating the complex emotions associated with loss, finding meaning and healing.
• Low Self-Esteem: Identifying and challenging negative self-beliefs, building self-compassion, and cultivating self-acceptance.
• Life Transitions: Adjusting to major life changes, such as career shifts, relocation, or family dynamics.

Telehealth Services

I understand that access to mental health care can be a barrier for some individuals. To address this, I offer telehealth services, allowing clients to connect with me remotely via secure video conferencing. This option provides convenience and flexibility, making therapy more accessible to individuals in the Tri-Cities area and beyond.
