About Bennett
I am a Master of Social Work graduate from the University of Georgia, and my path to becoming a therapist was shaped by a simple belief: everyone deserves to enjoy their life. My approach is deeply collaborative. Rather than directing you toward a predetermined destination, I walk alongside you to build a strong relationship grounded in trust and humor. Together, we will find the path forward that makes the most sense for your unique life.
Drawing on experience across both community-based and clinical settings, I bring a grounded, real-world perspective that clients of all backgrounds can connect with. I pull from an eclectic mix of modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and person-centered principles, tailoring my style to what actually works for you rather than applying a one-size-fits-all framework.
I work primarily with children, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, depression, life transitions, and emotional regulation. I create a space where our work together can be both fun and focused, so that you leave sessions feeling that real progress is being made.
Outside of the office, you can find me playing and teaching myself the guitar (badly, but enthusiastically), watching movies, listening to a new band, or suffering through the ups and downs of being an Atlanta sports fan.
