LaToya Benson, Bachelors in Human Services and Ministry Leadership and Masters level candidate for Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling
I am excited to be completing my internship at Harmony in Hues Wellness Center.
My journey into the helping profession began during a challenging time in my life. It was in that darkness that I discovered the profound impact of relationships and the importance of compassionate counsel. I realized how my conditioned mindset had held me captive until I broke free from negative thinking patterns. This pivotal experience inspired me to become a therapist, dedicated to walking alongside others on their healing journeys.
As a Black woman, I understand the stigma surrounding therapy in the racialized community. This drives my passion for collaborating with women and adolescents from underserved backgrounds, as I aim to create a safe and supportive space for those who need it most.
I embrace an integrative theoretical approach tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Throughout my internship, I look forward to taking part in training opportunities and gaining valuable experience to lay a solid foundation for my future as a clinician.
I hold an undergraduate degree in Human Services and Ministry Leadership from Cornerstone University and am currently enrolled in a dual track Master’s program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling at Spring Arbor University.
