Hello, I'm John Benton, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 20 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. My background includes community mental health, crisis intervention, and residential treatment, where I've worked with people from diverse backgrounds and age groups. I specialize in helping clients manage emotional regulation difficulties, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and Borderline Personality Disorder. I also offer Christian counseling for clients who wish to incorporate their faith into the therapeutic process.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. My background includes child welfare, foster care, residential treatment, aftercare, and behavioral health. I understand that people come to therapy carrying stress, grief, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and life changes. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, down, overwhelmed by stress, or stuck in a hard transition, you’re not alone. I work with people 16 and up who want support around anxiety, depression, life stressors, and eating disorders. My goal is to help you feel understood while we work toward steady, meaningful change together.
I help people who have been carrying too much for too long. Whether you've been holding everything together for your family, pushing through grief or trauma, navigating the demands of parenthood, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, you don't have to carry those burdens alone anymore.
I'm Cassandra Otoo-Robinson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the founder of Healing Out Loud PLLC. I created Healing Out Loud because I believe too many people suffer in silence until the weight of everything they're carrying begins to affect their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to show up for yourself at a pace that feels right for you.
I am especially passionate about supporting adolescents, women, parents and caregivers, and individuals navigating trauma, grief, divorce, major life transitions, and maternal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum, and the emotional adjustments that often accompany parenthood. I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and family and relationship concerns.
I approach therapy in a collaborative and compassionate way, creating a safe space where clients can feel supported as they explore their inner world. I believe that each client is the expert of their own life, and my role is to guide, support, and provide tools to help you connect with your strengths and insights. My work is trauma-informed and integrates a variety of techniques, including internal family systems, somatic methods, inner child work, strengths-based narratives, CBT, experiential approaches, and clinical hypnosis.
I’m Nisha, a relational, trauma-informed therapist and founder of Inner Work Psychotherapy.
I work with adults navigating unhealthy or challenging relationships. Many of my clients are exploring the impact of growing up in dysfunctional family systems while working through difficult family dynamics, attachment concerns, and challenges with understanding and regulating their emotions across various areas of life.
I believe everyone has the capacity to create new patterns that support the life they want to live. My mission is to help people understand themselves more deeply, break cycles that no longer serve them, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.
Together, we’ll work toward helping you live a more intentional, values-driven life.
I see clients ages 18–50 for individual therapy and provide group therapy as well.
