As Seen In The Media
"A goal without a dead line is just a Dream."
I’m Nikita Banks, LCSW
a licensed therapist, speaker, and mental health strategist dedicated to helping high-achieving professionals prioritize their wellness. With over a decade of experience, I blend clinical insight with cultural relevance to create space for healing and growth. Whether in the therapy room or on stage, I’m here to empower change—one conversation at a time.
As the founder of a culturally responsive practice, I specialize in supporting professionals of color—particularly women navigating high-pressure environments where identity, success, and mental health often collide. I also consult with organizations to deliver trainings that bridge the gap between wellness and workplace equity.
You can take up space AND succeed
We provide cultivated spaces for women of color to unpack racial trauma, navigate corporate stress, and reclaim their power—without code-switching their way to burnout.
Our therapeutic approach centers lived experience, honors cultural identity, and prioritizes emotional safety. In every session, we create room to breathe, reflect, and rebuild on your own terms.
Partnering with Purpose: Empowering Workplaces Through Inclusive Mental Health Solutions
As a certified minority- and women-owned business, we partner with corporations committed to equity, access, and real impact. Our culturally responsive mental health services, employee workshops, and executive coaching are designed to address the unique needs of diverse teams—especially professionals of color navigating workplace stress and racial trauma. We don’t just check boxes—we help build healthier, more inclusive workplace cultures that prioritize well-being from the inside out.

Starting therapy can be overwhelming—Have questions? We have answers
No! If your employer offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), your sessions may be completely free. Even outside of EAPs, we’ll work with you to explore affordable options that fit your needs.
Your first session is all about getting to know you—your goals, challenges, and what brings you to therapy. It’s a safe, judgment-free space where we’ll build trust and create a plan that works for you.ignore those essential elements when it comes to arrange resources and distribute the budget for each phase of the plan.
No—your sessions are completely confidential and your employer will never have access to what’s discussed in therapy. EAPs only confirm that services were used, not the details of your care.
Getting started is simple—just reach out to us or use your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to request a referral. We’ll guide you through the next steps and match you with a therapist who fits your needs.
