About Richard Banton

Richard Banton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of professional experience and active licensure in Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Connecticut. He approaches therapy from a mental wellness perspective rather than a mental illness framework, working with people who want to build wellbeing and believe that change is possible. His practice addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence, depression, and other life challenges.

Richard teaches clients to recognize how moment-to-moment experience is shaped by three universal concepts - mind, consciousness, and thought. By learning how these processes contribute to painful patterns, clients can interrupt those cycles and often experience a dramatic paradigm shift that opens the way to greater contentment, calm, and resilience. This approach does not deny that painful or traumatic experiences have occurred; rather it offers a different perspective that can help people move forward with clearer confidence and practical tools for everyday life.
