Shay Bankston LISW

As a licensed therapist in Ohio, I bring over two decades of compassionate mental health experience to my practice. My approach centers on supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, with specialized expertise in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

I am deeply committed to creating an affirming therapeutic space that honors diverse identities and experiences. My work focuses on supporting individuals struggling with social anxiety, isolation, panic disorders, and post-traumatic stress, with particular sensitivity to first responders and LGBTQ+ communities.

My clinical approach is collaborative and person-centered, designed to help clients develop meaningful coping strategies and build emotional resilience. I strive to walk alongside you, offering genuine support and professional guidance as you explore personal growth and healing.

Through evidence-based practices and a trauma-informed lens, I aim to empower clients to reconnect with their inner strengths and navigate life’s challenges with increased confidence and self-understanding.
