As a board-certified clinical therapist, I view mental health as essential to overall well-being. Reaching out for support can be one of the hardest steps, and I’m proud of you for taking it. With over 15 years of experience, I’m here to support you on your journey. Everyone’s story is unique and deserves an individualized approach to care.
Hi, I’m Shanae Benito, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with support, compassion, and practical tools for change. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions. My approach combines evidence-based practices including TF-MCBT (Trauma-Focused Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy) while creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and seen. I believe healing is not about having all the answer. It's about taking the next step forward together.
I work with adolescents, adults, Veterans, and families navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress management, substance use, and emotional conflict.
I have a particular passion for supporting children and families healing from trauma and disrupted attachment. I have extensive experience providing attachment-focused therapy for adopted children, children in foster care, and their caregivers — working alongside families to strengthen emotional bonds, improve communication, build trust, and address behavioral concerns.
With more than 20 years of experience, I've worked across private practice, community-based mental health, managed care, substance abuse treatment, and the Department of Veterans Affairs. I bring warmth and steady expertise to every stage of the healing process.
Everyone's mental health journey is different, so I don't believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. I take the time to understand who you are—not just your symptoms—so we can build a treatment plan that works for your goals, your lifestyle, and your values. As a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I care for children, adolescents, and adults through thoughtful psychiatric evaluations and medication management. Whether you're seeking answers, support, or a fresh start, I'm here to partner with you every step of the way.
Looking forward to meeting you!
I am a licensed clinical social worker and master addiction counselor with over 27 years experience supporting individuals through life's challenges.

I have a wealth of over 15 years' experience providing individual, family, couple therapy to those who have depression, anxiety, endured trauma, relationship concerns, or life stressors with work, personal, or family. My clients age from 15 years old to 62. They are diverse in reference to gender, culture, race, spiritualty, and relational beliefs.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fayetteville
Finding addiction therapists in Fayetteville starts with understanding the kind of support you want. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, cravings, relapse patterns, and behavioral concerns. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with addiction, substance use, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, depending on their needs.
In a smaller city like Fayetteville, local appointment options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search while keeping care accessible from home. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach to recovery support. Recovery often takes different forms over time, so it can help to look for a therapist who uses a non-judgmental style and has experience with harm reduction frameworks. Reading therapist bios can show how they talk about goals, setbacks, structure, and collaboration before you book.
Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing support more affordable. Headway helps you check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare addiction therapists who are accepting new patients. You can review bios, choose between in-person and virtual appointments when available, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
