This week, our hearts are heavy and our thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by Hurricane Idalia. We’re shining our weekly CSD Member Spotlight on North Carolina’s Margaret Benjamin, an LCMHC offering therapy and supervision services across the Tar Heel state. With a Doctorate in Counseling and Traumatology from Liberty University, Margaret started her career at an inpatient hospital witnessing severe real-life scenarios, learning the trade, and providing compassionate behavioral healthcare. Since 2016, she’s been a Counseling Program Branch Manager with the U.S. Marine Corps.
An effective supervisor since 2017, Margaret enjoys forming relationships and helping prepare incoming counselors for careers in mental health treatment. She often applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a backbone to teach mindfulness, personal values, staying present in the moment, and accepting thoughts and feelings without judgment.
