Executive Director
Are you exhausted from helping everyone else, with no space to be free and let your hair down? Do people constantly test your limits, and are you feeling stressed as a leader at home or at work? I’m Dr. Angela Banks, a licensed therapist offering intensive therapy for Black women who carry a lot for others and rarely get support for themselves. My work is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and informed by my research on Black women leaders.
I offer extended intensive sessions, designed to help you slow down and process what you’re carrying. I focus on attachment, healing relationships, and the impact of intergenerational trauma on emotional well-being and leadership.
I also provide workshops and talks for the community and organizations on leadership, parenting, team skill building, mental health, and a variety of topics to support healing, growth, and emotional wellness.
"Healing isn’t just about the present; it’s about breaking cycles, reclaiming power, and creating a legacy of wellness for yourself and generations to come." —Angela
