Hi & welcome! I’m so happy you’re here.

I’m Molly Banks, LCSW. I have worked in a variety of settings, but found my true calling in providing compassionate therapy & guidance to adults and perinatal women who desire to improve their mental health, coping strategies, emotional awareness, and better manage stress and burnout. 

My approach is warm, empathetic, and emotionally expressive; I believe these are the keys to building trust and connection, creating lasting change, thus experiencing a fulfilling life. 

What I believe: 

  • Building emotional awareness doesn't mean you won’t continue experiencing a wide range of emotions, but you’ll develop the tools to manage how your emotions impact you. 

  • Therapy is for everyone! While I utilize evidence-based treatment models in my practice, I meet my clients where they’re at and create approachable and fluid treatment goals.

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband, young sons, and our pups at the beach, on a hike, or lounging at home.
