Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
Today, more than ever, those identifying as LGBTQIA+ need support and understanding from a skilled clinician familiar with the joy and challenges of living true to one's identity. I have worked extensively with those both questioning their orientation/identity and those that are fully out (or out to varying degrees) in navigating family, work, and societal challenges.

Jess Benedetto, Still Mind Therapist
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MA Mental Health Counseling & Behavioral Medicine, 200-Hour Registered Yoga Teacher
We are an LGBTQIA+ affirming practice with specialties including LGBTQIA+ and non-traditional relationships, intersections between gender and sexual identities and mental health, and between gender and sexual identities and neurodiversity.
Still Mind Therapist founder Jess Benedetto offers trauma-informed individual therapy, relationship counseling, and wellness coaching focused on how our unmet needs, misunderstood minds, and past experiences contribute to personal, relational, and physical challenges. We believe that when you have a safe, judgment-free space to cultivate a deep awareness of how and why unhealthy patterns developed, you can begin to rebuild trust in yourself and others and move toward healing and meaningful change. Still Mind is a place where your needs, goals, and vision lead the therapeutic process, and where the path to healing looks different for every person and relationship.
