    About

    Hi, I’m Krista Bankes, a Christian life coach passionate about helping others grow into the person God created them to be. With a heart rooted in faith, I combine biblical principles with practical tools to guide individuals through life’s challenges, transitions, and goals. I am a certified life coach through the American Association of Christian Counselors and am currently finishing my master’s degree in Mental Health Clinical Counseling through Colorado Christian University. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or direction, my mission is to walk alongside you with grace, encouragement, and purpose. I believe that true transformation begins when we align our lives with God’s truth—and I’m here to help you take that next step with confidence.

    Mental Health Counseling (Available 11/1/25)

    Mental health counseling services provide compassionate, professional support to individuals of all ages, with a focus on healing from trauma and promoting emotional well-being. I specialize in trauma-informed care and offer a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

    • Trauma Therapy: If you've experienced trauma—whether from abuse, loss, or other life-altering events—these trauma therapy services are designed to help you process and heal. Using evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and other trauma-focused modalities, we work with you to address the emotional, mental, and spiritual impact of trauma. The goal is to empower you to reclaim control over your life, develop healthy coping skills, and move toward lasting healing and resilience.
    • Play Therapy: For children, play therapy is offered, a powerful approach that uses play as a therapeutic tool to help them express emotions, process experiences, and develop coping skills. Play therapy helps children communicate what may be too difficult to say with words, allowing them to work through emotional or behavioral challenges in a safe, supportive environment. It’s an effective method for addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and social difficulties.
    • Holistic and Christ-Centered Support: As a part of my counseling approach, I offer a faith-based perspective when appropriate, integrating biblical principles and prayer into the healing process. Whether you are seeking spiritual guidance alongside mental health support, or simply want to explore the connection between faith and mental wellness, I honor and respect your spiritual journey.

    My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where you can heal from the past, build emotional resilience, and thrive in your present and future. Whether you are an adult navigating the impact of past trauma, or a child needing support to cope with emotional challenges, my counseling services are here to help.
