Lenora Benson (She/Her/Hers)

Accepting Clients

Gentle, empathetic, patient, and caring. I lead with love and kindness, free from judgement and always collaborative as we journey together.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts

About My Clients

I support black and ethnic minority women, in navigating the challenges and expectations imposed on them by the fallacy of the strong black women. I support all women in navigating the social expectations, stressors, and demands of being woman, as they intersect in all areas of racism, sexism, and patriarchism. You constantly strive for excellence in every aspect of your life, yet the successful person on the outside does not match how you feel about yourself on the inside.

My Background and Approach

The energy of the universe has put me in the exact place that I need to be to fulfill my life passion of helping and supporting diverse groups of people on their journey to self-discovery and healing. I approach my practice with an open mind and without borders. I enjoy the challenge and growth that come with working with any client and any issue, but my work with adult women struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and the stress that comes along with high-achieving personalities is my sweet spot . In my past experience I have appreciated work with transitional aged youth with coming-of-age issues, veteran and veteran issues, minority issues, working to resolve inter-generational trauma, and work with young adults struggling with substance abuse and addiction. My work is eclectic, implementing various treatment models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Music Therapy, Somatic Therapy and more!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

In working together, I don’t see myself as playing a role as therapist. Rather, I see our relationship as a collaboration and partnership, using research-based approaches that are proven to help resolve your needs, which are each individual and unique as you. My approach is YOU focused, and strength based. My hope is that you leave each session feeling a bit more equipped and confident in your own strength and ability to persevere and be resilient through life’s most challenging and complicated moments. In our work together I will always be my true authentic self and bring my life experiences, coupled with my clinical expertise and “gut” to every session. I will push you, challenge you, and stretch the perimeters of your comfort zone. Most importantly I will be there to remind you that you are not on this journey alone and I am here to support you every step of the way.
