Bianca VonBank, LMFT
THERAPIST FOR WOMEN IN NYC AND THROUGHOUT NEW YORK AND FLORIDA
My Approach
I am not the therapist that’s going to solely focus on your childhood, your mother, or keep asking “how does that make you feel?” While exploring early childhood and attachment can be helpful, I don’t exclusively do that type of therapy work. I’m focused on the actions and skills that will lead to the results you came to therapy in the first place for.
I will call you out on your stuff and challenge you. My patients oftentimes thank me for not hesitating to be direct and straightforward when it feels like something is off.
I believe that our intuition is everything. Your wise mind, gut, or inner knowing is key. I love to support women in learning how to connect with themselves and trust their inner wisdom.
We will laugh. Being in therapy can be heavy sometimes, a little humor is essential and cathartic. I’m not afraid to talk about anything you need to talk about. After over a decade in this field, I’ve heard it all. Let’s get it OUT.
Challenges I can help you with:
