Benchmark Counseling

It’s been a busy time at Benchmark! From advocacy work on Capital Hill to learning in Long Beach, we’re all in for pediatric mental healthcare- even if we have to stand on a Senator’s couch to add our NWI pushpin to his map 😉

I’m honored to speak on the work I do with families involved in high conflict divorces at the 2026 Teen Therapist Conference.

This is a space where big conversations are happening.
It’s more than a conference. It’s a call to change how we show up for teens.

Let’s do this together: www.teentherapistconference.com

Come see me and Keates May April April 16–17, 2026!
