LGBTQ+ Issues
Daniell Cohen Bertagnolli
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, ATR, RYT
As a member of the LGBTQIA++ community, I understand how important it can be to build a therapeutic relationship with a queer-identifying therapist. It is my priority that my clients know they are safe to share openly in sessions and that for the time we have in our session, there is never any judgment to show up exactly as you are. I also understand the challenges of building a family and the unique complexities of this journey to queer-identifying families. I hope to provide resources, comfort and empower clients navigating life transitions and challenges related to identity and other LGBTQIA++ issues.

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.
