Rita Benci

MACP, RCC (she/her)

Welcome! I’m Rita, a Registered Clinical Counsellor committed to helping individuals and couples navigate anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions in a space where you can feel safe, supported, and seen.

My years in the non-profit sector have shown me the power of authentic connection and the resilience people hold within themselves. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Athabasca University.

My holistic, strengths-based approach helps clients feel more grounded, connected, and empowered as they move through their healing journey with greater ease and self-acceptance. In our sessions, you’ll be met with warmth, compassion, and collaboration as we build insight and coping tools together. I integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices tailored to your needs.

I specialize in supporting those facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and life transitions. Healing happens when you feel truly heard and understood—and I’d be honoured to walk alongside you on that path.
