Michelle Benson, MA, LPC
Specializes In:
Michelle Benson is a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina who has been practicing since 2021. She graduated in 2018 with a Bachelor’s degree in both Psychology and Behavioral Sciences from Columbia College. She earned her Master’s degree in 2021 from Lenoir-Rhyne University. She is currently working towards her PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision from Capella University. Michelle understands what it is like looking for a therapist. You want to find someone that you can feel comfortable with and can trust. Michelle gives you, the most important person in the room, the safe space you need to talk about the issues that plague you. She will help you recognize any negative and challenging thoughts and give you the “tools” needed to change those thought patterns. Michelle helps those who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and more to move past those feelings of “being stuck.” Outside of work, Michelle enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and taking care of her six animals: two dogs (Maverick and Ice), two cats (Claire and Coco), and two sugar gliders (Lucy and Ethel).
