Shervonne Banks

Hi there! I'm Shervonne, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you. With over 13 years of experience in mental health, medical social work, and community-based care programs, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to my practice. Before starting my own practice, I traveled across the United States as a psychotherapist and acute care clinician, partnering with adolescents, adults, families, and providers to bridge integrated care with mental health. This journey allowed me to see firsthand the diverse challenges and triumphs people face, and it deeply informs my approach to therapy today.

In addition to my work with diverse populations, I have a strong background in advocating for geriatric communities. I have addressed complex aging issues related to Medicaid, Medicare, accessibility to services, placement, and caregiver burnout management. This experience has given me a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of mental health and physical health, especially in the context of aging.

As of February 8, 2023, all appointments are virtual unless you are open to meeting on Wednesdays at our Richmond or Hampton Roads locations. Any appointments requested outside of the hours of 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM will be virtual unless otherwise noted. We recently changed our in-person visitation policy due to 'no-shows,' but we're committed to being flexible and accommodating. If you have any barriers with appointments, please contact our office immediately so we can reschedule at no cost.

I specialize in a variety of areas, including addiction, dementia, anxiety, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, depression, family relationships, grief/bereavement, life transitions, medical issues/physical health, medication evaluation, perinatal support (pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum), somatic symptom disorder, and stress. I also offer SonderMind Video Telehealth to make therapy as accessible as possible.

My goal is to help you reclaim your voice and peace of mind. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I am here to support you every step of the way. I look forward to working together to navigate life's challenges and celebrate your successes.
