Meet Our Therapists

Amber B Benton

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, MA, LCMHC

Life can be difficult and challenging. My commitment as your therapist is to create a safe and supportive space to develop trust and maintain confidentiality. Through my training and experience, my hope is to empower and encourage you to channel your internal resources in an effort to better cope with the struggles you are facing. I see you as the real "expert" of your life, and believe you have the capabilities necessary for change. I believe in a holistic approach to growth and healing that takes into consideration our relationships, social and cultural backgrounds, physical health, and spirituality.

My special interests include women's issues, life transitions and adjustments, anxiety, spirituality, addictions, and grief and loss. Although I am trained in spiritually-integrated psychotherapy, I am respectful of your beliefs and will not impose my beliefs on you. Our clinicians are trained to assist clients who desire to integrate faith and/or spirituality into their therapeutic work, although this is never a requirement.

Christa G. Reid
MSW, LCSW, LCAS-A

I am a Spiritual-Based Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting children, individuals, and families in emotional well-being, healing, and stability. Throughout my career, I have provided therapeutic support, coping skills, crisis intervention, advocacy, and case management to individuals navigating many of life’s most difficult seasons.

I believe that for every storm we experience, there can be a bright rainbow on the other side. Sometimes, we simply need a safe, nonjudgmental person who will listen as we work through past trauma, hurt, loss, and the challenges that have shaped our lives. I believe therapy should not only address what has happened to us, but also help us heal, move forward, rediscover our strengths, find purpose, and become the best version of ourselves.

One of my primary specialties is working with children and families. I help families navigate everyday stressors, life transitions, behavioral and emotional challenges, and disruptions within the family system, while building practical coping and communication skills that strengthen relationships and repair gaps within the family unit.

My clinical areas of strength include assessing and treating trauma related to abuse and neglect, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, family conflict, and the emotional impact of separation and divorce. I strive to create an environment where children and adults feel heard, respected, supported, and safe enough to begin healing.

My therapeutic approach is individualized because I believe no single approach works for everyone. I incorporate evidence-based and trauma-informed practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques, mindfulness, strength-based approaches, and play and expressive art interventions.

Spirituality can also be incorporated into the therapeutic process for clients who desire it. My goal is to meet each person where they are—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—while respecting their individual beliefs, values, experiences, and personal journey.

Healing does not mean that the past never happened. It means learning that the past does not have to determine the rest of your story. Together, we can work toward healing, resilience, purpose, and a life that feels meaningful and authentic to you.

Emily Herrera
MSW, LCSW-A

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults, creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, school avoidance, low self-esteem and self-confidence, and challenges related to multicultural experiences and identity. As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish.

My approach is individualized to each client’s needs, strengths, and experiences. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and person-centered approaches to support healing and personal growth.

I earned my Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from North Carolina State University in 2024 and my Master of Social Work (MSW) from Fayetteville State University in 2025.

My goal is to help clients process difficult experiences, develop healthy coping skills, build confidence, and gain the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges and move forward with greater resilience.
