Patricia Banks

My communication style

I have been told I am laidback, warm, and welcoming in the therapy space. Relationship building and being comfortable with one another is key, and my goal is to make sure all my clients feel heard, understood, and welcome. I have a casual, conversational approach to therapy and want to provide a space where you can authentically be you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had jobs in the “helping field”, and that passion never left me. When I was in my early 30s, I made the decision to follow my dream and become a counselor. Seeing firsthand clients express and demonstrate positive change is rewarding, and I feel honored to walk alongside my clients during their journey of self-growth.

My goals for you

Together, we will identify your goals, and just as life evolves, so can these goals. Adjustments can be made at any time to meet your needs. I love to hear from you as to what you like/dislike, such as HW, workbooks, etc. Many clients provide positive feedback to having “homework” to do in between sessions, but this can be tailored to your needs.

Our first session

First session is what I call ‘the get to know you’ session, or intake. It’s a time to get to know one another, gather information, hear your current concerns, and learn how best I can help. I recognize taking this first step can be intimidating and even downright scary, but thank you for trusting me with your story.

I identify as...
