I am a graduate of Jackson State University, where I earned a B.S. in Early Childhood Education in 2006 and a M.S. in Guidance and Counseling in 2009. I became a Licensed Professional Counselor through the Mississippi LPC Board in 2012. I have over 15 years of experience working in the following populations: Alcohol and drug abuse, Homeless, and Adults and Children with emotional, behavioral, family, individual, family and mental health diagnoses. I am certified as a Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy Therapist, First Aid Mental Health Instructor and Nonviolent Crisis Intervention Instructor (CPI). I am also a member of the Mississippi Counseling Association. My therapeutic approach is based on the belief that the thoughts and the messages we tell ourselves influence our feelings and actions, which in turn can have an impact on our interactions with others and response to life situations. Open to working with children and adolescents ages 12 and older.

My goal for individuals I work with is to provide them with a platform to rise from stagnation that mood disorder often creates. Helping individuals re-shape their perspective on their own lives' events in order to find their own strength has worked for many afflicted with depression and anxiety. The vastitude of life hinders one’s ability to see their better paths to pursue. A listening ear and supportive environment in which individuals feel safe to process their distress will accelerate their progress and give them inner power to take new direction. Fostering such strength with a proper processing approach and suggestions where warranted will free individuals to capture the quality of life they deserve. With therapy success and resolution of immediate distress, continuing sporadic meetings can be helpful to maintain progress and ensure success of a healthier lifestyle. I am here for you when you are ready to begin a journey to discover inner strength and overcome the challenges of life.

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.

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. I believe exploring childhood experiences are very important simply because those experiences can often shape adulthood experiences. 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.
