About Terri Benton

My name is Terri, and I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor since 2006. I have enjoyed my work since I received my Masters in Holistic Psychology from Lesley University, in Cambridge Massachusettes. That was almost 30 years ago, before most people used the term holistic counseling. To me, that means that you take every aspect of a human being into consideration when you have the privilege of being asked to join them in their process. I grew up in a small farming community in Minnesota and have lived in the Boston area since then. I love both, and wouldn’t want to be labelled as “from” either. I am both and much more. We all are. I am not a believer in labels-everyone is unique, and we all share being human. That is the basis of my work. If it matters to you in your life, then it is important to our work. Whether you are dealing with a major life change, or needing to find more meaning and joy in your life, my goal is to understand all that you are. I have found it to be an honor to be invited into an individual’s internal process, and I take my role very seriously-though I like to think I use humor when appropriate. Please feel free to check out all of my information and if you have a particular question, don’t hesitate to ask. It is important to find a counselor you feel is a good fit for you and your style of communication.

We are all a combination of our experiences, beliefs, values and perceptions. I want to understand yours before I presume to offer my suggestions. I have benefited immeasurably from the people I have worked with. I know what two people working together can do!

I wish you the best in your search for the best counselor for you!

“I’ve seen many therapists and all were good in their own way but Terri seems to fit my needs of what I was looking for in therapy. I believe that everyone should try out different therapy and therapists to truly find what you are looking for. I am so happy to have connected with Terri!”

“Terri makes me feel heard and gives me tools to use on my everyday life”

“Terri is a wonderful therapist, who listens to what I have going on in my life and helps me through my tough moments. I appreciate her help so much and I view her like a friend.”

“Terri has been awesome!! She listens and has the experience to understand you. I have really appreciated her insight.”

“I have gone through what seems like countless therapists on this app and other places and I can confidently say Terri is the best one I’ve had. She is beyond supportive and I truly feel she cares for me. She finds the perfect balance between making me feel heard while not being a “yes man”. She always tries to make time for me when I need an urgent session or timely advice, even if it’s just over messenger. Forever grateful to Terri!”

“She is great in every way - no complaints.”

“Terri is the best! She is kind, considerate, and is always so thoughtful. You can tell she really listens to you and remembers everything you say. I always look forward to speaking with her and leave each experience feeling much better and more confident.”

“Terri is amazing!!”

“Therapy sessions with her feel like talking to a best friend, she has a way of making it feel easy to talk about difficult things. She is always wonderfully supportive and has given me very meaningful insights. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a counselor.”

“Terri is just the best. I couldn’t be luckier.”

“She is a great fit for myself and makes me feel very comfortable to open up”

“Terri was wonderful and just what I needed to get me through a difficult patch. She's a great listener and gives good realistic feedback. Loved working with Terri and will definitely connect with her as my first choice if the need arises again.”

“I feel as though I got further in one session with Terri than I did in multiple sessions with other therapists. Sometimes, I'm unsure of what I even am looking for and she seemed to have a great balance of listening/giving feedback.”
