Adam Banks

I am an LCSW and specialize in infertility, anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-confidence, coping skills and stress/anger management, and life transitions. Having had my own journey in building a family, I understand the unexpected challenges (i.e. pregnancy loss, fertility preservation, third-party reproduction and ART), as well as the transition to parenthood. In addition, I provide consultations for intended patents, and evaluations for gestational carriers and egg/sperm donors.

My work with clients is collaborative, affirming, and strength-based. I assist clients with navigating their ambivalence and anxiety throughout the change process along with their becoming more comfortable expressing themselves so that they can move forward in healing. I also utilize mindfulness/mind-body exercises and CBT techniques to assist clients with gaining insight into their core beliefs and reframing their negative thinking patterns into more positive and productive ones.

I practice active listening to better understand my clients’ needs and work collaboratively to identify their goals. Yes, change may take time and therapy can be a powerful tool to help clients live a more satisfying and meaningful life. I can be both humorous and direct as per the needs of my clients in order to help them grow.
