About Duane R. Banks
Dr. Banks is dedicated to providing compassionate care to those who struggle with mental health concerns. His focus is using evidence-based medication management to treat a wide variety of mental health conditions. He finds joy seeing clients improve and live their best lives possible. He enjoys going to work and meeting all types of people. He knows a lot of factors affect an individual's mental health and endeavors to look at the whole picture when trying to help. He believes a team approach is usually best, particularly in difficult cases and definitely in those conditions which respond better to counseling such as PTSD and borderline personality. He is proud to work with and refer to his colleagues so his clients can benefit from counseling and neuropsych testing as appropriate. He is cognizant that a well run office is important in meeting the needs of his clients and is thankful to work with dedicated staff and care managers who can help when concerns arise. He strives to take care of concerns while they are small and more manageable in an effort to prevent them from becoming bigger issues.
When he is not practicing medicine, Dr. Banks enjoys spending time with his family and doing activities such as fishing, paddle boarding, camping, traveling, hiking, snorkeling, swimming and gardening.
