Richard Banton

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am licensed in Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico and Connecticut with 25 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression and other life issues. I operate from a mental wellness perspective as opposed to a mental illness perspective. This means that you, the client must be seeking mental wellness and believe that it is possible. If you have been told that you are damaged, broken, or defective and you prefer not to view yourself that way I can help. I teach clients how they are creating their moment to moment experience using three universal concepts of mind, consciousness, and thought. When clients are able to realize how they are creating their painful experience of life, they become able to stop doing that. They experience a dramatic paradigm shift that empowers them to be happier, more content and peaceful than they ever imagined possible.

*** This is not to deny that you are currently having or have had very painful experiences. It is an invitation see something new that can empower you to move forward with a calm and clear confidence.

About

Richard Banton is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of professional experience. He holds Licensed Clinical Social Worker credentials in New Hampshire (NH LCSW 3109) and New Mexico (NM LCSW C-11434), and he is also licensed to practice in Nevada and Connecticut. He is based in New Mexico.

He approaches therapy from a mental wellness perspective rather than a mental illness model – a stance that assumes clients are seeking wellness and believe it is possible. He offers support to people who have been told they are damaged, broken, or defective and who prefer not to view themselves that way.

Richard teaches how people create their moment-to-moment experience using three universal concepts: mind, consciousness, and thought. When clients recognize how their thinking contributes to painful life experience, they can stop creating that pain. That realization often produces a dramatic paradigm shift that helps people become happier, more content, and more peaceful than they had imagined possible.

His work acknowledges current and past painful experiences while inviting clients to see a different way forward that can empower calm, clear confidence.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people ask whether online therapy truly helps. For a wide range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions – remote therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person treatment for most people.

One major benefit of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect in the way that fits their needs and schedule, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. That adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.

All therapists offering online care are licensed professionals, and clients are free to change therapists if they want a different fit. For many people, online therapy offers an effective, convenient path to support during challenging times.
