About Dr. Bennett
Mahalo!
My life's mission is to illuminate the paths of others through my work as a psychologist. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of serving in diverse roles-from providing individual therapy to leadership for a global tech healthcare company. Yet, I've always been drawn back to the core purpose that first inspired me to pursue this profession: to empower others with empathy, integrity and commitment to best practices.
I'm dedicated to fostering trust, healing, and empowerment as I guide you through life's challenges. With a combination of expertise, strength and compassion I offer a safe space for growth and transformation.
I am deeply honored to accompany my clients on their journey of personal growth and transformation
With an unwavering belief in your innate ability to thrive, we embark on a grounded journey together of self-discovery, inner peace, and purpose. Together we will explore the endless possibilities that support your growth and self-actualization every step of the way!
I have a natural, intuitive ability to connect with clients from all walks of life, creating a safe, non-judgmental space that fosters healing, growth, and transformation.
My deep passion for the practice of psychology and best practices in healthcare form the foundation of my work, enabling me to meet the evolving needs of my clients. I specialize in supporting career-driven professionals including physicians, healthcare executives, attorneys, finance and technology professionals, high-profile clients, public figures, athletes, creatives, students, and America’s heroes. I also offer specialized animal-assisted therapy for people whose lives are enriched through the human-animal bond.
In addition to therapy and coaching, I provide expert behavioral health care consultation for individuals, firms, charities, educational institutions, government programs and more.
