Welcome to my page! My name is Melissa Benzaquen. I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. I am here to provide you with emotional support and the tools you need to cope with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. You are not alone! Uncertain moments, occasional loneliness, difficulty making friends, searching for a life partner, and other life circumstances can be painful and challenging. It would be an honor to help you to build optimism and find purpose in your life. Today, I will provide you with a warm and safe place where you feel comfortable in this transformative journey, and the goal is to achieve happiness and peace.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I create an environment where my clients feel completely comfortable opening up about their life experiences. I am a warm person and I pride myself on my ability to build rapport with clients. In the intake consultation, I get to know the client, their challenges, and their goals for our sessions together. I periodically check in with the client to assess how the therapy is helping them approach life stressors. I know that therapy has been transformative for the client when he or she takes the skills and strategies we have discussed and puts them into practice in day-to-day life.
