Citra Benhar, AMFT
Registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist

Supervised by Gina Cabral, LMFT

I’m glad you’re here. My name is Citra, and I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, supervised by Gina Cabral, LMFT (LMFT104556). I’m passionate about supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families on their journeys toward healing and growth. I take a person-centered, strengths-based, holistic, and systemic approach, which allows me to honor your unique needs and experiences. I believe you already have everything you need to create the positive change you seek, and my role is to help uncover and build upon those innate capabilities.

Clinical Experience

My background includes working with children and adolescents with ASD, ADHD, learning disabilities, and other developmental disorders, as well as individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, severe and persistent mental illness, co-occurring disorders, trauma, and difficult life transitions. My work with underserved and marginalized communities has deepened my commitment to creating a therapeutic space that is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. Healing can be painful, and you don’t have to do it alone. If you're ready to start your journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
