Hello! My name is Bernice Banks!

I am a licensed associate counselor of mental health at Rising Hope Therapy LLC.

I believe that all voices are meant to be heard! In a therapeutic setting, this looks like feeling safe enough to tell your story honestly, openly, and without fear of judgment.

In our sessions, you will be encouraged to take back the narrative in your own story, even the ones that were never fully heard or understood. In our work together, we make space for your experiences, both past and present, so that healing and growth can begin.

 

I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, stress management, and self-esteem. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. Throughout our work together, I’ll be here to support you, whether you're navigating challenges, working toward personal growth, or simply looking for guidance.
