Shanae Benito Life Coaching & Psychotherapy

This past Friday, I had the immense pleasure of working with the 4th and 5th graders at and observing the 5th grade scholars at while listening to pour into them, and I am still in awe of the children from both schools.

For years, I have had the privilege of entering middle schools, high schools, college campuses, and corporate spaces to educate, support, and de stigmatize mental health. But there was something especially powerful about being with these young students.

Their awareness, their curiosity, their desire to grow, it was all so present. And beyond that, you could feel the purity of their hearts. It gave me so much hope for the future.

I felt truly honored to hold space for them, to receive their genuine hugs, and to remind them, early on, just how special they are and the superpowers they already carry within themselves. To have such BIG feelings in little bodies, is a gift to the world. I simply show them how to release those super powers in a healthy way 🤍

Protect these babies at all costs 💕

(Real tears 😭) My daughter was 25 days old when I started this journey … today I am officially a fully Licensed Professional Counselor 🎉🎉🎉 After many years of school, supervision hours, internships, patient sessions, notes, trainings, and thousands of clinical hours … we really did it 🥹🔥

Literally, my journey started August 26, 2020!

For the past several years I practiced under a provisional license (LAPC), meaning I could provide therapy but only under the supervision of a fully licensed clinician while completing additional clinical hours required by the state.

Today, that chapter closes 🥹

As an LPC, I can now open my own clinical practice, give other therapists an opportunity, diagnose and treat mental health conditions, and eventually even supervise and train future psychotherapists on their journeys.

The sky is the limit.

I value my clinical work just as much as my organizations & philanthropic efforts, because at the core of everything I do is one mission:

Leave the world better than I found it!

I may not look like the stigmatized image people have in their heads of what a therapist “should” look like… and I love that. I love teaching people about the mind, the power of habit change, and breaking generational cycles and trauma.

Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way. Some days/nights were brutal. Postpartum while in grad school, single mom, just trynna figure it out. Thank you to my parents who lended me a kind word & everyone else in my life who did the same.

Major s/o my mentor , who saw something in me that at the time I hadn’t yet seen in myself. Thank you to some of the other clinical pioneers that have advised and inspired me also .curt & Laura Wagar ! 💚

Big things are on the way. Stay tuned.

Make sure you’re following x ! There are some amazing things happening for the community this year. My team and I can’t wait to serve you!

Ps. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Trust your journey. Trust God. Trust yourself 🤍

You don’t have to earn rest.

It’s not a reward,
it’s a requirement.

Give yourself permission to pause … without guilt. 🤍

What does rest look like for you today? 👇🏾

Grateful and honored to be nominated for the “Built Different” Award at the 3rd Annual HERStory Dinner & Awards hosted by Cameron’s Angels. 💜✨

To be recognized among leaders who are committed to serving, uplifting, and shaping the future of our communities truly means a lot. The work we do in mental health advocacy, youth development, and community wellness is bigger than any one person … it’s about building spaces where people can heal, grow, and thrive.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support the mission and believes in the vision of myself & our work at . This recognition belongs to the entire village. 🙏🏾

If you’ll be in Atlanta on March 12th, I would love to see you there for an inspiring evening celebrating powerful women doing impactful work. Ps. The AMAZING is the key-note speaker for the evening so you are surely in for a treat 🩷🤞🏾

You ever heard the saying, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results?”

That concept actually helps explain neuroplasticity … the brain’s ability to rewire itself. The patterns we repeat shape the pathways in our mind and ultimately shape our lives.

As once said, “The power of the mind is not a joke.” 💯

When I have speaking engagements on mental health be it in corporate spaces or in schools with students, I always emphasize the importance of self-care, personal development, and trying new things. Not because it sounds good… but because I understand the science behind breaking unhealthy patterns, disrupting generational cycles, and creating happier, healthier lived experiences.

Your brain changes when your behavior changes.
S/o to for using his platform to encourage & educate the masses.

So this weekend… do something new. 🧠✨
What will you do for yourself?? 💭 COMMENT AND LMK

Gratitude isn’t about ignoring what’s missing.
It’s about honoring what’s already here ✨

When you slow down enough to notice what you do have,
your perspective begins to shift.

More peace.
More presence.
More contentment.

What you focus on… expands. 🤍

What’s one thing you’re grateful for today? 👇🏾

My spidey senses tell me someone may need a little inspiration today. Keep those promises you made to yourself! Lock in. We got this 💚💪🏾
