Great to meet you!

Welcome to the practice of Cyl N. Banks, LCSW. CCM! Thank you for choosing me to assist you on your therapy journey.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy(CBT), talk therapy and other modalities. I am also trained to provide Eye Movement Desensitization + Reprocessing (EMDR) for the treatment of trauma.

What you can expect from our first session

Sessions will be warm and inviting. A time where you can be yourself. In our time together we will work towards your goals. Whether you want to increase your self-esteem, learn to set healthy boundaries, deal with grief or process your trauma, I am here to listen.
