HELLO!

Kendra Benesch, MS, LCPC

Before finding my way into this "helping of other humans" career, I juggled my passion job of riding and training horses while working in corporate marketing. My 20+ years of competitive riding and work in the equine industry taught me discipline, focus, patience, and compassion. My work in marketing showed me that I was meant for something else and led me to Maryland where I attended The Johns Hopkins School of Education.
Since completing my MS in Clinical and Community Counseling in 2013 my primary focus has been treating children and adults who struggle with various forms of anxiety, focus/attention and impulse differences, major life phase changes (specifically navigating Divorce), and traumatic events.   
In addition to being extensively trained in various evidence based interventions I firmly believe change starts with the therapeutic relationship.  Clients need to trust me to support them in meeting their desired goals while guiding them to explore uncomfortable or unfamiliar emotions, attitudes, and beliefs that are getting in the way of living a healthy life.
