Benita Oshana

Welcome! My name is Benita, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in the San Jose area. Additionally, I offer Telehealth services for individuals located in California. Are you the type of person who seems to have it all together on the outside, yet struggles with the relentless weight of anxiety and depression within? If you're a high-achieving perfectionist, familiar with the endless pursuit of success while grappling with internal feelings of inadequacy and self-esteem challenges, you're not alone. Therapy can be a safe space where the facade can fade, revealing the raw, authentic self that's been yearning for understanding and acceptance. In my approach, I blend the strength of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with insights from the Family System modality. I use CBT to tackle those thought and belief patterns that hold your mind back, messing with how you see your self-worth and potential. At the same time, the Family System modality helps us explore the roots of these patterns, understanding past wounds and the lack of support that may have taken a toll on your mental health. My goal is to guide you in reintegrating parts of yourself that no longer serve your well-being. It's about redefining your narrative in order to reach your best self. Your well-being is not a destination; it's a journey—one I’m committed to navigating with you. Take the initiative for the next step and call for one complimentary 15 minute consultation. I would be happy to answer questions you may have!
