Hello, my name is Alma Banks. I am a Certified Social Worker (CSW). I am a dedicated therapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges and find healing. With training in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family-Based Therapy (FBT) for eating disorders, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I am equipped to support clients through a variety of struggles.

I have experience in working with adolescents and adults facing eating disorders and disordered eating. Additionally, I have experience helping adults manage trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, evidence-based, and tailored to meet each client's unique needs.

I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a bachelor’s of Social Work in 2018 and initially worked with pregnant and parenting individuals, providing crucial support during significant life changes. I later obtained my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Kentucky in 2022. Over the past three years, I have honed my skills as a therapist, helping clients achieve their goals and empowering them on their journey to wellness.

In my practice, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel supported as they work toward healing and personal growth. Together, we can navigate challenges and cultivate resilience to build a more fulfilling life.
