Andrea Benton

Welcome! As a LCSW, I enjoy working with clients who are dealing with everyday life stressors, depressive symptoms, anxiety, trauma, & PTSD. My primary specialty is working with single incident & complex trauma. I have a special interest in working with birth trauma & maternal mental health, as well as in-depth experience working with survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault. As a military spouse, I have also worked extensively with service members, veterans, & military spouses.

I utilize a client-centered, trauma-informed approach to establish a caring therapeutic relationship. I am trained in using therapeutic modalities such as EMDR, CBT, and DBT, but place more focus on creating a safe, empowering, and validating space to help clients gain self-awareness and achieve goals. We'll figure out which modality works the best for you.

Therapy is hard but life is harder. My goal for therapy is to create a space to help you increase self-awareness, gain strategies for change, and become your own best therapist in life.
