Lillian Banks

My communication style

I prioritize active listening to ensure you feel heard and understood. I incorporate supportive feedback to reinforce your strengths, use open-ended questions to deepen our conversations, and emphasize validation by acknowledging your feelings. This creates a collaborative, trusting relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to therapy because I have a deep passion for helping people and meeting them where they are. Listening to individuals share their stories is incredibly rewarding, and I find great fulfillment in supporting marginalized and diverse communities.

My goals for you

I encourage open dialogue to identify your aspirations and areas you wish to improve. Together, we create specific, measurable goals that align with your values and needs. This collaborative process empowers you and provides a clear roadmap for our work together.

Our first session

I focus on building rapport by creating a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where you feel safe to share. I provide an overview of the therapy process, explain confidentiality, and address any concerns you may have. Together, we explore next steps and set the stage for our work.
