Hi, I’m Vanessa J. Banks. I’m a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker who works with adults navigating various life experiences. My goal is to partner with you in relieving distress as you embark on your journey of healing and transformation. Like everyone else, I’m human. I’ve been through both wonderful and difficult experiences that have shaped who I am and how I provide service. Being a therapist is an honor to me. I love partnering with people as they move closer towards transformation and experiencing more of an authentic and free existence.
For almost ten years, I have worked fiercely to support and engage marginalized persons and communities; while affirming their stories, and existence within and against systems. I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting which I solely use for trauma work.
I am committed to navigating with you to see transformation, healing, and hope when you feel hopeless. I have compassion for people and bring heart and warmth to each session. I believe that you are worthy of love and care. I believe that therapy should address the person as a whole – their mind, body, and spirit.
