About BenTia
BenTia Andrews is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience based in Mississippi. She focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and depression.

BenTia describes clients as the experts in their own stories. She listens closely and helps people name what feels hard. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at making small changes feel doable.
Background and approach
In sessions she helps people understand patterns that keep them stuck, such as avoidance, control issues, or communication problems. She also addresses concerns tied to abandonment, attachment, and mood disorders. Practical steps and real-world strategies are part of the work, alongside talking through feelings and reactions.
People looking to reduce impulsivity, work through guilt and shame, or navigate recovery from substance issues can find focused attention on those topics. She also offers support around isolation, life purpose, and multicultural concerns that affect how someone feels day to day. BenTia frames the therapeutic process as collaborative.
She helps clients set manageable goals and measures progress in concrete ways. To begin, a simple matching questionnaire is used and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability.
