Nick Banks, M.S., LPCA, CCHT

Founder

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 American Counseling Association, the International Mental Health Practitioners of Japan, the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, the National Guild of Hypnotists and hold an advanced handwriting analyst certification with the American Hypnosis Association.
