About me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon. I work from a trauma informed perspective and am committed to providing culturally sensitive, individually focused, person-centered care.
My goal is to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel safe and emotionally supported to engage in the work of healing and self-development.
I am experienced in supporting clients working through a wide range of concerns including stress management, life changes, boundary setting, conflict management, compassion fatigue, relationship issues, racial injustices & inequalities concerns, and generational trauma.
My treatment approach draws from emotionally psychodynamic, solution-focused and cognitive behavioral modalities and interventions.
We can work together to develop goals and a treatment plan that meet you unique concerns and needs.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Aja Riley Bennett. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Meeting Aja virtually and counseling with her was a rewarding experience. Aja provided me with my first professional counseling sessions in my adult like. I am dissapointed that the insurance coverage that I have through Moda Health does not cover continuing appointments with Aja.
