Tessa Banta

I am Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Licensed Professional Art Therapist. I received a Masters from the University of Louisville in 2014. I have worked in community mental health settings for a number of years assisting adults with a wide range of disorders and have experience in inpatient settings with adults and adolescents. My specialties include EMDR, DBT, CBT, MI, Supportive and Expressive Therapy techniques. I utilize these techniques to assist individuals in learning how to confront life stressors, gaining new perspectives, increase emotional regulation, interpersonal and distress tolerance skills. Most importantly, learning how love and take care of yourself in all areas. “Life can be stressful and overwhelming at times. Engaging in therapy can assist individuals in learning new skills to cope and heal. I believe together as team, the healing process can begin and goals can be reached. I feel smiling is one of the best medicines, and I feel honored to be part of that process.” <!– Professional verification provided by Psych
