You may be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, toxic relationships, or emotional pain that keeps resurfacing. It can feel overwhelming trying to move forward while still carrying the weight of the past. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can begin to understand your story, break free from old patterns, and move toward a more peaceful, meaningful, and purpose-driven life.

Jamie Benjamin

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 10 years of experience in the counseling field. I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults ages 14 and older, providing a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

My goal is not to tell you who you should be or what your life should look like. Instead, I want to help you better understand yourself, identify what you want for your life, work through the things that may be holding you back, and develop the tools and confidence needed to move forward.

I believe every person has strengths, even during times when those strengths may be difficult to see. Whether you're navigating a difficult season, healing from past experiences, struggling with your self-worth, or simply feeling ready for something to change, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start exactly where you are and work from there.
