Terri Benton

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

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!

About

Terri Benton has been a licensed mental health counselor since 2006 and brings 22 years of clinical experience to her practice.

She earned a Master of Arts in Holistic Psychology from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts nearly 30 years ago and uses a whole-person approach that considers thoughts, beliefs, values, experiences, and perceptions when working with someone.

Raised in a small farming community in Minnesota and living in the Boston area since then, she values the perspectives of both places and resists labeling people. Terri believes each person is unique while also sharing a common humanity, and she treats what matters to a client as important to the therapeutic process.

Whether a person is navigating a major life change or seeking greater meaning and joy, Terri views it as an honor to be invited into an individual’s internal process and approaches that role with seriousness and appropriate humor.

She welcomes questions from prospective clients and encourages anyone seeking help to find a counselor who feels like a good fit for their style of communication.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For a range of common concerns—such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or adjusting to life changes—online therapy can be an effective option. One major benefit is flexibility: clients can choose the mode of connection that fits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to weave therapy into a busy life and to access care from different locations. Licensed professionals provide care in these formats, and if a different therapeutic fit is desired, it is possible to switch therapists. Online therapy offers a convenient pathway to address everyday mental health and relationship concerns while matching the communication style that works best for each person.
