Terri Benton, LMHC

Terri Benton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who brings a holistic, whole-person perspective to her clinical work. She earned a Masters in Holistic Psychology from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and has been practicing as an LMHC since 2006. Her approach emphasizes understanding the full context of a person's life - experiences, values, beliefs, and relationships - before offering guidance or interventions.

Raised in a small farming community in Minnesota and long based in the Boston area, she draws on a broad life experience that resists simple labels. Terri values individuality and encourages exploration of what matters most to each person. Whether someone is navigating major life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, addressing relationship or intimacy concerns, or seeking greater meaning and balance, she aims to meet them where they are and tailor the work to their needs.

Known for taking the invitation to join another person's inner process seriously, she combines professional expertise with warmth and a measured sense of humor when appropriate. Terri works with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, parenting and family concerns, LGBT issues, bipolar disorder, ADHD, sleep difficulties, stress, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She welcomes questions about fit and communication style and supports a collaborative therapy process focused on each individual's goals.
