Garet Benavides is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Las Vegas who specializes in trauma therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals and people adjusting to chronic illness or new physical diagnoses. As a former Corrections Officer with the North Las Vegas Police Department (More than 6 years in Detention Command), Garet brings direct knowledge of incarceration systems and the trauma created by law enforcement involvement.
This background positions her to work effectively with clients dealing with domestic violence, sexual abuse, incarceration history, and criminal justice trauma. She also specializes in transgender and gender-transitioning individuals managing gender dysphoria alongside chronic pain, cancer, HIV/AIDS, or other medical conditions.
She’s EMDR trained and uses somatic therapy to address how trauma lives in the body. As an Indigenous/Mexican-American and White therapist, she works across diverse racial communities. She provides affirming care to sex workers, people in non-monogamous relationships, the kink community, veterans, single mothers, and people with disabilities.
