About the Founder

Dr. Benton is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Professional Counseling Supervisor who has worked in social services and mental health since 1999 in crisis and trauma.  She started a private practice in 2016, NNK 4 LIFE in hopes of building a group practice to fill the gaps needed in the community for mental health services. 

Dr. Benton started working within the community through non-profits, churches, organizations, and agencies developing a process and connecting resources to be able to serve in social services and behavioral health either FREE or low-cost. She developed a training program to teach interns and provide FREE & low-cost services to the community. It took some trials and errors, but now NNK 4 CommUNITY, Inc is a 501c3 non-profit organization, is prepared, and ready to serve.
