Bahtyah Benyahmeen

Bahtyah Benyahmeen, LCSW, is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker who supports people seeking relief, steadiness, and a more sustainable way to carry what they have been holding for a long time. She works at a pace that respects each person’s nervous system, lived experience, and readiness for change, with an affirming and culturally responsive style that centers respect and nonjudgment.

Her work is collaborative, evidence-based, and skills-focused, drawing from trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies, Motivational Interviewing, ACT-informed practices, and the Neurosequential Model of Therapy (NMT). She specializes in supporting children and adolescents with trauma histories and behavioral challenges that may show up at home, in school, or through academic or legal consequences. She also works with high-functioning adults and professionals navigating complex or developmental trauma, ADHD (including late-diagnosed women), anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing patterns, and major life or identity transitions. Bahtyah also supports executives, leaders, and first responders or law enforcement managing work stress, imposter syndrome, and executive-functioning challenges.

At the center of her approach is helping clients build a healthier relationship with themselves. Many people have learned how to survive, yet still struggle with self-forgiveness when boundaries slip or familiar patterns return. In therapy, she helps clients practice coping tools that fit real life while reshaping the inner voice toward compassion, confidence, and steadier self-trust.
