Getting to know Katherine Banks

Professional Philosophy Everyone at some time experiences life events or goes through stressful periods that can affect how we feel and what we believe about ourselves, sometimes changing our worldview. Recognizing the need for extra support and guidance in finding our way back to wellbeing is a courageous step and shows a readiness and commitment to meet challenges and make changes in your life. I believe that bringing mindful awareness to our problems while offering ourselves supportive self-compassion for our humanity are tools we can all develop and use. My goal is to help you build wellbeing through a personalized humanistic and existential approach combined with creative self-expression to change negative perceptions and patterns of thought, behavior, and emotions, and to increase a greater sense of personal strengths, coping skills, and resilience. The benefits you gain from therapy depend on how actively you participate in the process and put into practice what you learn back into your life. So commit to being open, present, and flexible, and bring your bravery and curiosity to our collaboration so you can create a life built on joy, meaning, and purpose. Personal Background I have always been creative and made art. From doodling in high school notebooks to earning a Master's in Clinical Art Therapy from Long Island University, Brookville, it was always my intention to be a working artist. In fact, I spent many years as a graphic artist, creating to order, which did not involve my own instinctual vision or voice. Art Therapy has allowed me to bring together my interest in psychology, my personal explorations, and my ever-growing understanding of what it means to be human-trying to create and enjoy a happy life-and my inner knowing about the healing power of the creative process. As an artist and an Art Therapist, I have experienced the fulfillment and healing that come from creativity and self-expression.
