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.

When I retired from the United States Air Force, I wanted to use my natural intuitive abilities to help others in a more formalized way. I have always been told that I'm a good listener and give great advice. As a therapist, I don't give advice; however, I help create an environment where clients experience layers of limiting beliefs being removed. We discuss values, desires, how to effectively communicate and much more. This paves the way for their inner wisdom to advise them on what is best, and they have the confidence to act for positive changes in their life. I am a holistic practitioner with a solid foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am experienced in a variety of treatment modalities that I tailor to individual clients' needs. I hold certifications in integrative mental health and Trauma Focused CBT. I have formal training in energy psychology methods like Emotional Freedom Technique and Acceptance and Integration Training. Additionally, I am a Positive Discipline parent educator and advocate for coparents and parents in blended families.
