Getting to know Dr. Shakora Banks

Hello, I am a cognitive behavioral therapist with a focus on adults and couples who are experiencing adjustment disorders, depression, grief, anxiety, and trauma. I have recently retired from my role in the psychology department of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (Maryland's Prison System). Prior to my work with the State of Maryland, I taught psychology to undergraduate students in my hometown of Buffalo, New York.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
