Mindfulness Resources
Mindfulness implies that the mind is fully attending to what is happening, what you’re doing, and the space you’re moving through. This can be done in many different ways such as breath work, movement, creative expression, visualization, and guided meditation.

Katie Bank MA, BC-DMT, LPC
Adult and Child Psychotherapist and Dance/Movement Therapist
Therapy should be safe, personal and creative to nurture change and growth. I want to help you feel supported and restore hope that things can get better. We will work together to find a unique and individualized approach at the pace that feels right. With a warm and authentic style, we will get you closer to your goals and find balance in your emotions, behaviors and values. I treat individuals, families and couples as well as children, adolescents and adults.
I have a person-centered, relational approach drawing from mindfulness and embodied techniques. My work as a professional counselor and dance/movement therapist allows my clients the ability to connect their mind and body as one for a more holistic and integrated experience. Some of my specialties include eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma and people with physical and cognitive disabilities.
