Emily RH Benedict

I work with ALL people (size, gender, sex, race, ability, religion) who feel like a stranger within their own body, mind, and spirit. This may be due to loss of faith (deconstruction), identity work, existential questions, relational issues, chronic self neglect, disordered eating, trauma. Those who are hungering to be more attuned and embodied in their emotions, values, sense of worthiness but somewhere got lost along the way and are ready to find home again. My approach is collaborative, relational, trauma informed, and human. I draw on my own history/faith transition from Christianity for spiritual matters. I also draw from attachment based, IFS, mindfulness, gestalt and psychodynamic interventions. I support HAES (Health at Every Size) and I see age 18+ through mature adulthood. Each person has a story they can flourish in, no one has to merely tolerate life. My joy is to enter into and unearth that story with you. This is where renewal and transformation begins. Just as all people have the vulnerability of being deeply wounded, I believe we all have the capacity, resilience, and creativity to truly heal.
