Specializes In:
Benetria McGowan, LPC, helps children, adolescents, teens, adults, and families navigate life challenges with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based care. As a therapist with LifeStance Health, she serves patients throughout Wisconsin, providing a supportive environment where individuals can explore concerns, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Benetria has experience working with a wide range of mental health concerns and believes healing happens when people feel safe, understood, and empowered to take an active role in their growth. Whether a patient is facing emotional distress, relationship challenges, or difficulties adjusting to life transitions, she works collaboratively to identify strengths and create personalized treatment goals. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Benetria tailors treatment to the unique needs of everyone. She provides individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and group therapy. In addition to her primary areas of expertise, she offers support for concerns such as ADHD, trauma, grief, and childhood behavioral challenges. Her work is grounded in respect, authenticity, and a commitment to helping individuals and families build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Outside of the therapy room, Benetria enjoys reading, writing, and spending time in nature near water.
