Dr. Beverly Benoit

Anderson,SC

Summary

Licensed clinical social worker and grounded program leader with over 14 years of experience walking alongside individuals and families through some of life’s most complex and emotionally intense moments. I have held space for children removed from their homes, supported families navigating the trauma of court systems, and offered a clinical anchor to caregivers and patients during the sacred transition of death. Whether in the silence of hospice rooms, the chaos of family crisis, or the quiet unraveling of private clients carrying invisible burdens, I have listened deeply and responded with clarity, structure, and compassion. My professional path has not only honed my clinical skills—it has offered me a lived and empathetic window into what people truly need during crisis: to be seen, to be stabilized, and to be supported in systems that often overlook them. I bring trauma-informed insight, program-level coordination skills, and an unwavering commitment to emotional wellness and justice.

  • As a lead behavioral health clinician, I walk beside neurodiverse and autistic children and their families, many of whom are navigating the invisible trauma of daily misunderstanding, marginalization, and emotional overwhelm.
