Our Mission
At Trinity Wellness, LLC, our mission is to help clients realize and manage the power they hold within themselves. We strive to help clients manage their mental, physical, and spiritual lives so they may live the full and balanced life they desire. We accomplish this mission by providing counseling, life coaching, and an array of comprehensive wellness services customized for each individual. Our clients are not given advice to follow, they are empowered and educated to become happy, healthy, and successful individuals.
Karen D. Banks (she/her), M.Ed., LPC - SupervisorOwner and Counselor
What is your truth? My goal with our sessions is to help you walk in your truth. I work hard to treat people as a whole person, not a diagnosis or someone limited by the problems they are experiencing. We collaborate on your treatment so that you discover who you are and find ways that work for you to walk in your truth. I am passionate about mental wellness and helping individuals and communities thrive. Your therapy is custom to you and might include conversations about coping skills, your support system, personal goals, or incorporating natural health into your life. I primarily see adults and couples for therapy using a holistic and cognitive behavioral approach. I have completed levels 1, 2, and 3 in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as Treating Affairs & Trauma and Couples & Addiction Recovery. I am in training toward my Sex Therapy Certification through Sexual Health Alliance. My clients want to work on reducing stress, anxiety, depression, sexual concerns, relationship and communication problems, racial/cultural concerns, and improve all facets of their lives. I also offer wellness coaching to clients around the globe to work on self-improvement, business growth, getting out of their own way, and developing a positive mindset. In my "spare time", I enjoy nature, public speaking, education, activism, yoga, and growing Trinity Wellness to serve the community! 
Ruth Banks (she/her), M.A., Ed.D.Office Momager & Education Support Specialist
Full disclosure, I am the owner’s mother, therefore affectionately known as the ‘Office Momager’. With that being said, I serve to support not only my daughter as she strives to help others, but also be a support for the other counselors in the office and serve our clients. Please look for me to support you with accessing the office and our website. I have over forty years in the field of education from serving as a classroom teacher (grades 1-5), reading specialist, elementary principal, coordinator of federal programs, and director of curriculum and staff development. I am currently serving as an adjunct professor continuing to train teachers. I would be happy to help you navigate the school system and be your advocate when attending school meetings. You can look to Trinity Wellness to fulfill all of your mental, physical, and emotional needs. Sam Huber (he/him)Master's Level Counseling Intern
As we go throughout our lives, we often tend to get all wrapped up in the journey to provide a better life for ourselves and our loved ones. However, sometimes we don't take enough time to show love to ourselves, and we are often left feeling unfulfilled, restless, or exhausted. Whether you are facing issues such as anxiety, depression, addiction, or even just need some help "doing life" in a different way, my hope is that I can offer a space where you can breathe, speak freely, and decompress from the daily stresses of life, as I meet you right where you're at in this present moment. I use a combination of approaches in the therapy setting, including psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and existential. I look forward to working with you

Brittany O'Bryant (she/her), M.A.Counselor in Training & Case Manager
Throughout the years, I have witnessed so many clients going through daily life traumas and daily life stressors without having anyone to talk to. Whether clients are facing challenges that deal with relationships issues, self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression or even issues with academic planning I want my clients to know that there is help for their specific issues. I am passionate about helping and providing clients with an integrative tailored approached to each individual’s needs that I provide counseling and support. I truly believe that counseling is the avenue for bringing peace, happiness, and safety to clients through various integrative approaches such as Reality Choice Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Person Centered Therapy. I have openings to work with children of all ages. 
Deanna D. Granger (she/her), M.Ed., Ph.D.Counselor-in-Training
Typically, we wear a lot of hats and life “tries” to deter us from making time for self-care. However, YOU are important. So, give yourself permission to put YOU at the top of your to-do list. Self-care is not selfish, it is essential….YOU are essential. My goal is to support my clients holistically…..mentally, spiritually, socially, and physically. My patients are actively involved in their treatment plan that is tailored to their unique selves. I see clients for individual, couples, and family therapy. I specialized in working with moms and dads through their prenatal healthcare experience. I support my clients with concerns around depression, anxiety, stress, and health management. For the record, you do not need to have a specific concern in your life to see a therapist. I believe it is important to be proactive about your mental health and having periodic checks with a therapist is encouraged. “Give your friends a break and get you a therapist.” Sydney Byrd (she/her)Master's Level Counseling Intern

Insurance and Sliding Scales
Trinity Wellness was founded with the belief that counseling and wellness should be accessible to everyone regardless of their ability to pay. We also believe that the ethics and bureaucracy of the insurance business is a business model that does NOT align with our values. While some of our clinicians may accept insurance at this time or in the future, we will always offer a sliding scale.
The session fee for a 50-minute session is $120 and an 80-minute session is $150. Your clinician may have reduced-fee spots available. Please discuss your income and financial situation with your counselor to see if you qualify. Do not let finances stop your healing journey; talk to us! We are humans (great ones), not a computer or large company.
If we accept insurance, we have to provide a diagnosis which is not always relevant to your treatment. The insurance company will also decide HOW you work with your clinician and they might also limit the number of sessions they will pay for. Insurance companies might also ask for records of our sessions which we believe is a violation of your privacy. Once your mental health status and treatment is documented with an insurance company, it becomes a part of your permanent health record which could be used against you in the future. Furthermore, insurance companies profit billions of dollars per year, yet deny policyholders coverage and treatment.
In the near future, Trinity Wellness will have a non-profit option which will allow clients to apply for a grant-funded, low-cost session fee.
Oftentimes, we have a graduate intern available to see clients at a reduced rate.

2022 No Surprises Act/Good Faith Estimate
Under the Federal No Surprises Act (effective January 1, 2022), upon your request, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate (GFE)” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services. This law is in conflict with our business model as it requires us to diagnose you before services are provided, however, we will provide you with a GFE upon your request. Please speak with your counselor or the practice owner (Karen Banks) if you would like more information.
Practice-Wide Good Faith Estimate (not customized)
This Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is being provided, upon request, in compliance with the 2022 No Surprises Act.
You are entitled to receive this “Good Faith Estimate” of what the charges could be for psychotherapy services provided to you. While it is not possible for a psychotherapist to know, in advance, how many psychotherapy sessions may be necessary or appropriate for a given person, this form provides an estimate of the cost of services provided by our office. Your total cost of services will depend upon the number of psychotherapy sessions you attend, your individual circumstances, and the type and amount of services that are provided to you. This estimate is not a contract and does not obligate you to obtain any services from the provider(s) listed, nor does it include any services rendered to you that are not identified here. Additionally, it does not include any outside services or referrals which are provided independently of our psychotherapy services.
This Good Faith Estimate is not intended to serve as a recommendation for treatment or a prediction that you may need to attend a specified number of psychotherapy visits. The number of visits that are appropriate in your case, and the estimated cost for those services, depends on your needs and what you agree to in consultation with your therapist. You are entitled to disagree with any recommendations made to you concerning your treatment and you may discontinue treatment at any time.
The NON-SLIDING SCALE fee for a 50-minute psychotherapy visit (in-person or via telehealth) is $120.00 and $150.00 for an 80-minute session. Most clients will attend one visit per week, but the frequency of visits that are appropriate in your case may be more or less than once per week, depending upon your needs. Based upon a fee of $120 per visit, if you attend one psychotherapy visit per week, your estimated charge would be $480 for four visits provided over the course of one month; $960 for eight visits over two months; or $1440 for 12 visits over three months. If you attend therapy for a longer period, are using our sliding scale, pay a different rate, or vary treatment frequency, your total estimated charges will adjust accordingly.
