Nick Banks, MS, LPCA, CCHT

Hello, I'm Nick, the founder of Enhance Horizon. I established this practice with a profound commitment to supporting individuals grappling with various challenges, fostering a welcoming and secure environment where they can freely express their concerns. As a retired military veteran, I understand the stressors and challenges that military members and dependents experience that are unique to that lifestyle. I recognize a need for a compassionate space where people can share their burdens without fear of judgment. Within my practice, I focus on addressing critical issues such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions, using a holistic approach that emphasizes emotional well-being and personal growth. My goal is not only to provide effective therapeutic assistance but also to empower individuals to navigate life's complexities with resilience and confidence.

Education

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of West Alabama, a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of Maryland, Global Campus, and a Diploma of Hypnotherapy from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute. Presently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University. Additionally, I have garnered expertise as a qualified Neurolinguistic Programming practitioner and a dedicated level 2 practitioner in Dolores Cannon’s Quantum Healing Hypnosis technique™. Currently, I am under the expert supervision of Jarred Miller, LCSW, as I work towards obtaining my full licensure in counseling. I am proud to be a member of the esteemed National Guild of Hypnotists and hold an advanced handwriting analyst certification with the American Hypnosis Association.
