Christa Banton

Welcome! My practice is tailored for the active adult, the one that needs help but has no time for it. I practice on weekends, nights, and early mornings if needed to fit your busy schedule. I believe that each person views life from their own story, and our narrative is unique and important. In addition, I also believe that we can overcome trauma, past struggles, and relational disconnections. We can find a way to cope and thrive, but sometimes this means looking at reality and choosing success, which takes work and internal reflection.

I approach therapy from a Humanistic and Solution Focused perspective, believing the client is the expert on their life. I am here to walk the journey with you, wherever that may lead. This also means that I will not make decisions for you, but with you.

I also use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Harm Reduction, and Family Systems.

Some of the areas that I specialize in are: trauma work with abuse survivors (sexual, physical, emotional, or psychological), motivation and college life transitions, independence for young adults, acute grief/complex and prolonged grief, professional workplace stress, LGBTQAI+ acceptance and authenticity, ADHD and neurodivergent issues with current diagnosis, ASD adults with current diagnosis.

I provide an initial 15-minute video call to talk about your needs to determine if I am a good fit for your needs. Then we schedule out your initial session, which consists of a consent paperwork review and intake assessment. Then we decide how frequently we will meet and what your treatment goals are.
