Camille Banks-Lee wants you to enjoy life the way you deserve to - even through its hardest moments. Currently, a private practice psychotherapist, working in a traditional, community-based mental health clinic, she draws from her previous experience as a school teacher in her aim to teach her clients that life happens for you, not to you. Specializing in difficult life transitions, grief, self-esteem, and achieving balance, she works with clients to identify recurring patterns of thinking and behavior in their lives and how to develop healthy coping mechanisms to progress forward. With Masters Degrees from Fordham University and NYU, and currently working towards her Ph.D. at the University of Southern California, Camille brings a lifelong dedication to learning to her practice. A self-proclaimed optimist, her work is steeped in discovery and empathy, “I love learning from people. I am a teacher, a healer, and an empath but I firmly believe that I am merely a vessel to showing folks that they already have everything they need. I'm not teaching them things they don't already know. I'm very lucky to do this kind of work.” A lover of travel and maintaining an active lifestyle, whether it's on her Peloton bike or going hiking, Camille is also committed to serving her community. She currently sits on the Board of Trustees for Fordham Preparatory School. As a guest on this podcast, she talks about suppressing emotions, collective trauma within the Black community, where community healing begins, encounters with police, and what is and isn't said in therapy sessions.
