Joel Benavente, LCSW

I have been formally trained in dialectical behavioral therapy and I am a certified clinical trauma professional. I also have been trained in modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-addictions, motivational interviewing, and Adaptive processing informed treatment interventions.

What makes you passionate about the behavioral health field?

I love being able to show up as an authentic human being and enjoy creating a space for people to feel safe, validated, and provide them with a skillset to help guide and facilitate their life worth living goals.

My favorite hobbies

I love all my hobbies and my friends would consider me the adventurous friend. I enjoy quality time with friends and family, traveling, and live music.
