🦋 What Does Growth Look Like in Therapy? A Real Talk Guide for Adults Starting Their Mental Health Journey
If you're here, you’re probably craving more than just “coping skills.”
You're craving clarity. Relief. Maybe even hope. Whether you're juggling anxiety, navigating a major life change, or feeling stuck in a loop—you’re not alone. At Growth Unlimited Behavioral Health, we believe growth isn’t always linear, but it’s always worth it.
🌿 So, what do I actually do here?
Let’s break down the four main ways I support adults across North Carolina (virtually!):
1. Individual Therapy for Adults
This isn’t your old-school therapy with silence and head nods. This is real conversation, real connection, and real tools. We specialize in helping adults living with bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and women's issues find more balance, clarity, and control. It’s not about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you understand, grow, and heal (see what I did there? 😉).
2. Mental Wellness Education
You shouldn’t have to scroll through TikTok to figure out your mental health. We offer free and low-cost guides, worksheets, and resources that make emotional wellness feel do-able—even on your busiest days. These are perfect if you want something to work on between sessions or if you’re not quite ready for therapy but want to dip a toe in.
3. Care Navigation
Sometimes you don’t just need a therapist. You need someone to help you figure out:
Where to go next
What support you’re even eligible for
And how to make all these systems actually talk to each other
We’ll walk alongside you to connect the dots—from finding a psychiatrist to filling out housing paperwork. We don’t just “refer”—we coordinate.
4. Clinical Supervision for NC Associates
If you're an LCMHCA in North Carolina, you deserve a supervisor who’s been in the trenches. One who gets the pressure, the paperwork, and the passion. AND you deserve a supervisor who understands that, as an associate, you aren't made of MONEY. Supervision here isn’t about checking boxes—it’s about helping you build the confidence and clinical judgment to stay in this field long-term. Supervision with me is also about providing a quality services at reasonable prices.

🦋 Therapy Shouldn’t End at the Door: Why I Offer Free & Low-Cost Resources for Mental Wellness
Let’s be honest: One hour a week in therapy isn’t always enough.
Life doesn’t wait until your next session. Big emotions hit in the carpool line. Triggers show up mid-meeting. Old patterns sneak in before you’ve even had your coffee.
That’s why at Growth Unlimited Behavioral Health, I don’t just close my notes and call it a day after your session ends. I believe support should follow you home.
📝 What kind of resources do I offer?
Here’s a peek at the free and affordable mental wellness tools I create just for you:
✅ Therapy Session Summaries
After each session, you’ll get a brief summary with:
🔹 What we talked about
🔹 Two positives we noticed
🔹 One area for growth
🔹 Your next-step plan
These help you track progress, reflect deeper, and stay focused between visits.
📘 Workbooks & Journals
Whether you want to explore your anxiety triggers or build better boundaries, I’ve got guides to walk you through it. These are easy to follow, judgment-free, and rooted in real-life scenarios.
🗓️ Planners for Mental Health
Because adulting is hard. These digital planners help you:
Track mood & meds
Stay organized with routines
Build emotional check-ins into your week
📚 Short-Form eBooks
Too busy to read a 200-page self-help book? Same. My bite-sized eBooks cover topics like:
Coping with anxiety at work
Understanding your trauma triggers
What to actually say to yourself during a spiral
💡 Why do I do this?
Because healing shouldn’t have a paywall.
Because I know therapy can feel like a lot—and sometimes, like not enough.
Because I’ve worked with too many adults who were expected to "just figure it out" between sessions.
And because you deserve tools that meet you where you are, not where someone says you should be.
🛠️ How these tools help:
Clients tell me these resources help them:
Feel more prepared in sessions
Practice coping skills in real time
Stay motivated when life gets heavy
Share progress with partners, kids, or care teams
And honestly? That’s the goal.
Understand. Grow. Heal. Even outside the therapy hour.

🦋 Follow Along for Real Talk, Real Tools, and Real Growth
🦋 Blog Title: Follow Along for Real Talk, Real Tools, and Real Growth
By Patrice Banks, LCMHC, QS
Therapy doesn’t start or stop with a session.
Some of the best insight happens after the appointment. When you're sitting in your car, walking your dog, or scrolling at 11:47 PM wondering, “Is it just me?”
That’s why I created a space for those moments—on Instagram and Facebook.
📱 Why follow @growth_unlimited_therapy?
Because sometimes you need:
A gentle reminder that you’re not broken
A quick journal prompt when you're stuck in your head
A tiny pep talk that makes you breathe a little easier
A therapist who keeps it real and gives you actual tools
Here’s what you’ll find on my social pages:
🌀 Mental Health Education That Makes Sense
You won’t get lost in clinical jargon. Just clear info on topics like anxiety, trauma, boundaries, and emotional burnout.
📎 Free Worksheets, Mini Guides & Downloadables
Get bite-sized tools to try right away—no gatekeeping, no fluff.
💬 Behind-the-Scenes Therapy Insights
I’ll share session reflections (no PHI, always general), tips that come up with real clients, and tools I wish more people had access to.
🧠 Thoughtful Reminders + Permission Slips
Some days you just need someone to say: “You’re allowed to rest.” Or “You don’t need to explain why this is hard.” I’ve got you.
🦋 Updates on New Workbooks, Planners & eBooks
You’ll be the first to know when something new drops—plus early access and exclusive codes when I can swing it.
👀 What’s the vibe?
It's cozy, clear, and kind.
No filters, no fake hustle—just growth you can actually feel.
If you like feeling seen, if you need real tools without the overwhelm, and if you want a therapist who gets it?
