Hi there, I'm Pamela! My name is Pamela Banks, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Clinical Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC), and Independent Clinical Supervisor (ICS) based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I hold a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College. I specialize in substance use disorders, PTSD, depression, and anxiety, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, psychoeducation, and psychodynamic approaches to support my clients in achieving their recovery goals. My approach My approach depends on the aims and needs of my clients; therefore, I use an eclectic and person-centered approach. This allows me and my clients to develop a therapeutic relationship that enables me to choose the most effective treatment tailored to each client's needs. My specialty population includes adults and teens. This approach fosters client empowerment and a sense of safety while building skills to live a fulfilling life. My focus My client population and specialty focus are children and adults living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. My counseling style and approach include cognitive reframing and restructuring strategies, empathy, and active listening. These methods help me interpret my clients' schemas and assist them in developing skills to move forward. My communication style My communication style is inviting, calm, non-scripted, and nonjudgmental, allowing me to create a natural flow for organic conversations with my clients. Most of my clients open up to me immediately as a result of this style.
