Top Maryland therapists and psychiatrists who accept cash payments

As a client centered therapist, I use storytelling and narrative therapy to harness and highlight your strengths. Our work together is collaborative, engaging you in cognitive processing and motivational interviewing to address parts of yourself impacted by trauma and stuck in repetitive story loops. During our sessions, you will gain and practice new skills to reduce and manage shame, guilt, anxiety, and grief. Success is achieved when we establish a trusting and supportive space, and you gain confidence in using new skills to consistently engage in more functional behaviors, ultimately feeling a deeply centered sense of self and personal capacity. I specialize in supporting young professionals in their mid-30s and older who are navigating challenges related to depression, anxiety, family roles, and life and relationship transitions. Together, we work on shifting behaviors rooted in trauma or maladaptive patterns from the family of origin, culture, and community.

Hello my name is Margaret Banks. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with people from many different backgrounds. I have worked in crisis intervention, healthcare, corrections, and private practice. Are you feeling unhappy, unmotivated, or simply stuck in life? I want to help you get on track to feeling better. I have helped people facing challenges of grief and loss, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication issues, codependency, self-esteem, forgiveness, and infidelity, just to name a few. I understand finding the right therapist to assist you through this difficult time in your life is very important. If you don’t have a connection with your therapist, you won’t be able to make the progress that you are hoping to achieve.

If there are unresolved issues from the past, people may find themselves engaging in reoccurring maladaptive behaviors until those issues are resolved. I want to collaborate with you and offer guidance through the journey of healing.
