Nichole Mayweather-Banks

I am the owner of Changing FACES llc, a queer, black, female, owned psychotherapy practice. I graduated from Springfield College with my Masters of Social Work and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). As a gender affirming therapist, I have seen firsthand the effects of gender discrimination on my clients' mental health. I provided letters of support for gender affirming medical treatment. I participate in specialized training in working with the transgender community.

My specialty includes, but is not limited to: gender identity development, intersectionality, codependency, coping skills, emotional regulation, family conflict, life transitions, interpersonal relationship issues and self esteem.

I use creative techniques and real-world strategies to support people with transitioning and provide a safe space to talk about their gender identity. I also help anxious and worried people remain calm , bring peace in to their lives and feel less overwhelmed.

I work exclusively with gender expansive folx (18+). The goal is to help enhance skills that encourage sustainable personal growth both in the therapeutic setting and in the community.

We will work together to identify and remove obstacles to peace and happiness in their lives.

If you’re ready to become an authentic, happier, more fulfilled you, I’d love to work with you every step of the way!
