Jason Benton, LPC, Owner

 

I spent 16 years as a high school and middle school counselor after finishing my graduate program in counseling at Georgia Southern University in 2001. I then decided to open my own private practice. Since then, it has been my pleasure to work with 10- to 18-year-old boys in various ways. Some need problem solving skills, others need help with relationships or social skills. Still others would just like someone to talk to. 

If you are looking for a therapist for your son, I invite you to view the rest of my website. Note the services I offer, my hours, and the insurance that I accept. I would be honored to help your son and family.
