Christa Banton, LMFT

Welcome, my practice is tailored for the active adult, the one that needs help, but has no time for it. I practice on weekends, nights, and early mornings if needed to fit your busy schedule. I believe that we can overcome trauma, past struggles, and relational disconnections. We can find a way to cope and thrive, but sometimes this means looking at reality and choosing success, which takes work and internal reflection.

I approach therapy from a Humanistic and Solution Focused perspective, believing the client is the expert on their life. I specialize in trauma work with adult abuse survivors (sexual, physical, emotional, or psychological), motivation and college life transitions, independence for young adults, acute grief/complex and prolonged grief, professional workplace stress, LGBTQAI+ acceptance and authenticity, ADHD and neurodivergent issues with current diagnosis. Treatment types I like to use are Solution Focused, Person Centered, and Motivational Interviewing. I also used psychodynamic principles in terms of trying to understand the patterns in behavior by looking at our childhood and any traumas we have experienced. This is necessary for us to move forward towards recovery. The goal is to live a fulfilling, authentic, and whole life. I do not use AI in my practice.
