About me
(License #CSW005315)
Hi! I’m Lorin. I use she/her/hers pronouns. I’m so glad you found me and I can’t wait to collaborate with you on your healing journey.
I enjoy working with clients who are open to challenging themselves with new ideas and fresh perspectives. While a lot of our reactions to stress, trauma, and other difficult moments are completely understandable, there’s a good chance that the patterns that have developed and the outcomes of those reactions are what have brought you here today. Overwhelming emotions can make it difficult to navigate stressful situations. I enjoy helping people pause and find healthier ways to respond. In many cases, there is a lot of hurt and a lot of healing to be done. One of the most rewarding parts of being a therapist for me is building the trusting therapeutic relationship that allows for much needed healing to occur. I work well with clients who are motivated to make lasting changes and who are willing to be open and vulnerable within the therapeutic space. I love helping people explore who they are, what they want, and how to create a life that aligns with their values.
Lorin Banks, LCSW
Everything that you bring to our sessions will be accepted with open arms. While working with me, I will hold space for you non-judgmentally as we explore what matters to you and what has gotten in the way of you living the life that you want and deserve. My goal is to create a safe space in which you feel seen, heard, understood, validated, supported, and empowered. In a world that is often filled with discrimination and marginalization, I strive to provide culture affirming and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming therapy.
I utilize evidence-based treatment strategies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Somatic Therapy, Polyvagal and Trauma-informed holistic therapy.
I’m ready when you are! Please reach out for your free consultation today. It’s time to put yourself first.
