Welcome to our Newest Therapists Starting in August and September!

Laura Kutey received her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University, a CACREP accredited graduate program.  She also received her bachelor’s degree in Psychology with minors in Theatre and Gender Studies from FGCU, where she graduated with honors. She is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern working toward full licensure as an LMHC in the state of Florida.   

​​Laura self-identifies as a creative person, finding lifelong solace in her passion for the arts. She is always thrilled to integrate art therapy into sessions, knowing creative expression is quite powerful and exists through many mediums. Her theatre minor prepared her to integrate drama therapy and psychodrama into her practice with clients who are curious about theatrical self-expression.

Online Therapist as a Convenience to our Clients
Starting in September

​Diane Benfield is a licensed clinical social worker who is experienced in helping people work through painful moments in life such as illness, isolation, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, interpersonal distress, family conflict, trauma, and life transitions. Diane aims to help clients feel less alone and to facilitate finding hope, strength, meaning, and purpose in suffering. Diane has been following Jesus Christ since 2000 and loves to integrate and invite God's Truth, His Word, and the power of prayer into therapy sessions when invited. 

Diane earned her Master of Social Work from Barry University and Doctor of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University, specializing in clinical practice. Diane is a Certified Sex Therapist and is trained in AEDP and EMDR therapies which foster deeply relational, attachment-based, emotion-focused, experiential, and somatic interventions that prioritize safety, healing, and connection.
​
Diane has experience in multiple settings including crisis pregnancy, substance abuse, oncology, psychiatric, education, and general mental health. Diane is available exclusively by telehealth on weekday evenings and Saturdays. Diane facilitates a co-ed cancer therapy group weekly.
