Meet our CEO.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker, owner and CEO of Proactive Mental Wellness. For well over a decade I have been providing psychotherapy that is compassionate, direct, and grounded in real-world strategies. My approach supports clients who are managing high stress, anxiety, burnout, and major life transitions—especially when you’ve been “holding it together” for everyone else.

Nikita Banks, MSW, LCSW, SAP

I’m a licensed clinical social worker, owner and CEO of Proactive Mental Wellness. For well over a decade I have been providing psychotherapy that is compassionate, direct, and grounded in real-world strategies. My approach supports clients who are managing high stress, anxiety, burnout, and major life transitions—especially when you’ve been “holding it together” for everyone else.

My approach to our work

Sessions are collaborative and structured. We’ll explore patterns, build emotional regulation skills, strengthen boundaries, and work toward measurable goals. You can expect a supportive space that also challenges what keeps you stuck—without judgment.

What to expect

We’ll start with what you want to change, clarify goals, and create a plan. You’ll leave sessions with insight and practical tools. Consistency matters—progress comes from small, steady changes that add up.

Ideal clients
  • Are a high-achieving professional who feels anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained

  • Are navigating burnout, workplace stress, or “always on” responsibilities

  • Feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or difficulty setting boundaries

  • Are managing a major transition (career, relationships, identity, relocation, loss, or personal growth)

  • Want therapy that is culturally responsive—where your lived experience, identity, and context are respected and understood

I specialize in supporting professionals of color (especially women) and clients who want a space that is emotionally safe, culturally aware, and focused on real-life solutions.
