Brook Benson

Addictions Counselor Licensee Candidate

I grew up in Lewistown, MT and knew my calling to help people was strong. I chose to get a B.S. degree in Psychology and Addiction Counseling, but truly realized my passion for addiction in September of 2020. This is because a family member of mine was dying to this disease. I saw first-hand what addiction was doing to someone I deeply cared about, so I took action and began my clinical work as an addiction counselor. I worked in Helena, MT in an intensive outpatient program, but knew God had a different plan for me. I found RMTC and have been able to be a part of someone’s recovery journey. I am excited to be a part of this team and be a person someone can look to for guidance. I am a single mother of a 3 year old girl and love to spend my free time on the lake or camping. I am currently studying my master’s program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling .
