Carmen H Benitez
I am a native Spanish speaker originally from Colombia. I have had the privilege to work with English and Spanish-speaking adult clients for the past 15 years to effectively help them overcome issues caused by depression, anxiety, grief/loss, self-esteem, and abuse. Also, I can support clients maintain sobriety from all kinds of addictions. I completed my master’s degree in professional counseling in the state of Georgia where I also hold an active license to practice therapy.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) since the beginning of my career in therapy. The CBT model looks at the beliefs and thoughts that we have about certain situations, and how they influence the feelings we experience. Using the cognitive model, you will learn to identify your own patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. You'll come to understand how your thoughts shape how you feel, and how they impact your life in significant ways. Once you become aware of your own irrational thoughts, you will learn to change them.

Carmen is a sensational therapist. Her CBT tactics are helpful and they allow me to not only accept the things that she’s telling me, but it also allows me to view situations from a new perspective. After three previous attempts at therapy, this one is by far the best experience I’ve had.
