Getting to know Margaret Banks

If you have located me, it is likely you are facing a life challenge. I understand that finding the right therapist to assist you through this difficult time is very important to you. 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 want to help you unpack past issues and show you how they could be impacting your current life and preventing you from reaching your full potential. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master's in Social Work from Union University. I have experience working with people from different backgrounds who are struggling with many challenges. I treat those who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and simply trying to navigate life challenges. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be compassionate, caring, and nonjudgmental. Additionally, they are happy with my honest and direct approach. You can expect me to listen and guide you through every difficulty that you are facing. I understand how hard it can be to find a therapist you can open up to, and it would be a pleasure to work with you through this difficult time in your life. (Note: There may be earlier appointments that are not shown. If you require an earlier appointment, please send me a message to inquire).
