Sarah Benitez-Zandi

Welcome to Milwaukee Mental Health and Consulting Compassionate, Specialized Care for Life’s Most Complex Challenges At Milwaukee Mental Health and Consulting, we understand that life doesn’t always follow a clear path. Whether you’re navigating trauma, grief, infertility, postpartum transitions, relationship challenges, or other personal struggles, you deserve support that is both evidence-based and deeply attuned to your unique story. Sarah Benitez-Zandi LCSW: My ideal client is insightful and ready for change, even if they feel stuck or overwhelmed. They may struggle with anxiety, identity, relationship issues, trauma, or life transitions. They want to understand themselves more deeply, break old patterns, and build a life that feels more authentic and aligned. They’re seeking both support and tools—someone who can meet them with compassion, flexibility, and real strategies for growth. I offer a warm, collaborative space where I blend evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, DBT and Somatic Therapy to support healing and growth. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and relationship issues—tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs and help you move forward with clarity and confidence. You don’t have to go through this alone. Whatever you’re carrying, there’s space for it here. Together, we can work toward understanding, healing, and meaningful change. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’d be honored to walk with you.
