Caroline Beneke

Are you or a loved one experiencing debilitating symptoms associated with anxiety or depression that just don't seem to go away? Is your child's functioning at home, school or within the community being disrupted by problems stemming from divorce, addiction, minor trauma, grief, or loss? Does your child struggle with constant worry or anxiety, sadness or irritability, persistent disobedience, or a decline in normal activities? Caroline fully believes that early identification and treatment can help individuals learn how to take back control of their life and environment in order to reach their full potential. By utilizing play therapy techniques and other therapeutic interventions, Caroline works primarily with children, adolescents and young adults struggling with maladaptive thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. She employs genuineness, acceptance, and empathy with her clients within a safe, non-judgmental space and helps them to recognize their behaviors, communicate their feelings, address unresolved trauma, and explore repressed thoughts and emotions. In doing so, her clients are empowered to find hope, initiate change, and begin the healing process.
