Our History
At Therapeutic Sanctuary Counseling & Play Therapy Center, we are committed to providing evidence-based mental health interventions to families in our community. We serve children and adults (starting at age 5), offering personalized, compassionate care designed to foster healing and resilience.
Our founder, Tara Benson, draws on her Jamaican cultural background and over 8 years of experience to create a unique, culturally sensitive approach to therapy. She and her team are especially passionate about providing a safe and supportive space for children, and adults navigating the complexities of generational dysfunction and trauma. Our team member’s expertise empowers individuals to break cycles, heal emotional wounds, and build healthier relationships for themselves and future generations.
Therapeutic Sanctuary strives to celebrate diversity, uplift families, and promote emotional well-being through tailored, evidence-based care.
