Pamela Banks, LPC — Therapist in Wisconsin

Hi there, I'm Pamela!

I specialize in substance use disorders, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. I support clients in achieving their recovery goals through evidence-based approaches tailored to their unique needs.

My focus

I work with children, teens, and adults living with PTSD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. My counseling style emphasizes empathy, listening, and helping you develop skills for moving forward.

My approach

My approach is eclectic and person-centered, allowing us to develop a therapeutic relationship that feels right for you. I tailor treatment to your specific needs, which empowers you and creates safety while building skills for a fulfilling life.

My communication style

My communication style is inviting, calm, non-scripted, and nonjudgmental, and it allows me to create a natural flow for organic conversations with my clients. Most of my clients open up to me immediately as a result of my communication style.

My journey to mental healthcare

My own lived experiences with addiction and mental health issues fuel my passion to help others overcome pain and challenges. I truly enjoy being part of your recovery process and witnessing your sense of well-being, freedom, empowerment, and peace.

My goals for you

I work with you to identify problem areas, strengths, and obstacles during goal-setting. Together we develop SMART goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timed.

Our first session

You can expect to spend time answering questions so I can gather information and understand your current concerns. We'll discuss thoughts and feelings that may relate to what brings you to therapy.
