Jaime Benedetti, MA, NCC, LAC

Education and experience: I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rider University in addition to my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I am a Licensed Associate Counselor, as well as a National Certified Counselor. My experiences as both healthcare case manager and parole case manager has afforded me many opportunities to work with a variety of people on a wide variety of life challenges including addiction, depression, anxiety, relationships, gender identity issues and academic problems. I have vast knowledge in working with adults and teenagers from diverse cultural, social and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Counseling Philosophy: I strongly believe in the importance of my clients feeling safe to freely express themselves during our sessions together. I utilize techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, rational emotive therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic and mindfulness. Our sessions together will be client focused and client driven; I am here to guide my clients to reach their full potential.

Outside of counseling, I am an animal lover and self-proclaimed foodie. I love to travel and experience new places and cultures with my fiance, friends and family
