Anxiety Therapists in Atlanta, GA

I thoroughly enjoy working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults. As a licensed psychologist having worked at different settings and with different age groups, I appreciate the nuance that each person brings to the therapy room. I work collaboratively with clients to figure out the solutions that will best meet each individual’s specific needs. For some, that can mean implementing certain strategies and solutions, while others might require a closer look at one’s identity and close relationships to determine a good path forward. I do my best to ensure that you feel valued, understood, and respected.

Are you feeling mentally and physically exhausted? Do you find yourself meeting the needs and wants of work, family and other projects but not having enough energy left to focus on you? We give so much to others that we often forget it is essential to take care of ourself first. Sometimes we do not recognize the impact that stress, anxiety, and depression have on our mental and physical state because we are on ‘auto-pilot’. Being mindful of our mind and body leads to awareness, healing, and peace.

I am currently licensed in Georgia as well as Louisiana, with 15 years of professional counseling experience. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self-esteem and confidence issues, & depression. I strongly believe that you are the expert of your story, and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I am a licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Georgia with over 20 years of experience providing mental health services to individuals. My specialties include the treatment of anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, trauma, and LGBTQ+ issues.

I'm an Atlanta native and have practiced psychotherapy in Maine and Alaska.

Unfortunately, we don't always stop feeling like "the weird kid" after we leave high school. Simply trying to change our way of thinking and doing doesn't always beat that nagging feeling of "not-enoughness". Whether that’s a phrase you’ve been told by parents, teachers, bosses, or yourself, it’s almost impossible to grow when you weren’t led to believe in yourself. White-knuckling through everything - jobs, relationships, social situations - it feels like you’re always working the hardest and never getting far enough. Mix in neurodivergence, grief, and only-childness - our anxiety around "being different" is off the charts.

I believe each of us has the ability to feel joy, to be the best we can - to accept life's twists and turns with grace and serenity. Pain, emotional and physical, can rob you of your happiness. Through our work together in the therapeutic relationship, you can heal and regain control of your life. Whether it is making difficult decisions, dealing with anxiety and depression or working through family issues, let's work together to find your solutions. Call me and lets talk.

I help people who are feeling overwhelmed get back on track. I assist young adults anxious about work or life who need support and tools to move ahead. Clients of all ages may be going through challenges or life transitions - career, divorce, medical issues, retirement - that show up as anxiety or depression or just feeling stuck. We'll explore what's not working and I'll help you make changes so life can be better. If this is your first time working with a psychotherapist, I'll do my best to explain how therapy works. Good counseling is always a collaboration.

Are you down bad crying at the gym? Are you tired of having to do it with a broken heart? Are you so depressed you act like it’s your birthday everyday? Are you breaking down, hitting the floor? Are you grinning like you’re winning, hitting your marks, holding your breath, trying to pass the next test? Are you exhausted having to be a really tough kid who can handle their (stuff)? Does it feel like you’re faking it ’til you make it? Does it feel like pieces of you are shattering as life keeps screaming, “More!”? Do Taylor Swift lyrics hit a little too close to home?

Hi there, My name is Shanae Benito and I am currently seeing clients for individual, couples, group and family therapy. In addition to therapy, I also teach psychological skills training. I have always been passionate about helping others to learn coping skills and tools that will improve their happiness and overall quality of life. My foundational approach is Trauma-Informed Mindful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is the most effective form of evidence-based psychotherapy thus, I draw from it to help individuals excel in their personal and professional lives.

In my practice, I work with adults, young adults and adolescents with a broad range of challenges. My approach is relational, practical and conversational as I help clients explore relationship issues and everyday stressors in family life, work, and school.

I strongly believe in the healing potential and wholeness within every individual. I specialize in working with adults, teens, parents, and families who experience anxiety/overwhelm, difficult life transitions, challenging relationship dynamics, feelings of "not good enough", and substance use/abuse concerns. Utilizing a humanistic and mindfulness based approach that incorporates practical and deeply connecting tools, I support my clients in promoting growth and healing. When we are in distress, or experiencing a longing for deeper connection, we can benefit from having assistance to turn inward and open to our immediate experience.

Throughout my 25 years as a therapist, I have focused on issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, self harm, suicidal thoughts, and oppositional/defiance. Many of my clients also describe themselves as Neurodivergent. No matter what the issues may be, I find that people often start therapy because they feel stuck and are seeking ways to move forward. We work together to develop concrete goals such as making a new friend or just getting out of bed everyday. Other clients in my practice are searching for a safe place to work through their pain. Whatever your starting place, you are welcome here.

I practice cutting-edge, holistic treatment that focuses on healing the mind-body connection. I provide a safe place for my clients to process their current situations and find some relief.
