We're so excited to welcome Alex Brock to The Banyan Tree family!

Alex works with children and teens navigating some of life's harder seasons, including anxiety, neurodiversity, ADHD, emotional regulation, and big life transitions. He brings a warm, strengths-based approach to every session, and a genuine belief that every young person has the capacity to grow, even when things feel really hard.
Before counseling, Alex spent years as a cognitive teacher supporting kids with learning disabilities. That background shapes everything about how he shows up for his clients and their families.
If you have a child or teen who could use a little extra support, we'd love to connect you with Alex.

📍 In person in Athens + telehealth

Self-care doesn’t have to be luxury or an
“extra” on your to-do list.

Sometimes the most impactful ways to care for your mind and body are the simplest... and they don’t cost a thing!💚

If you've been wondering whether EMDR is right for you, this one's for you.
Most people who are curious about EMDR have one fear before they start. They think they'll have to retell everything that happened in detail. That's actually one of the biggest misconceptions about how it works.

You don't have to narrate your trauma. A brief overview is all that's necessary.
Star Bridges, breaks down exactly what happens in an EMDR session, what the first appointment really looks like, and the moment clients know something is starting to shift.

Star's full post is linked in our bio.

We want to share something we feel strongly about. 💙

AI is programmed to tell you yes. To validate you, agree with you, and say what feels good in the moment. But real therapy is so much more than that.

A real therapist will challenge you when you need it. They will also hold space for you, sitting with you in the hard and heavy moments without rushing to fix everything. Because they are not here to hand you all the answers. They are your guide, walking alongside you while you do the work of finding your own way through.

They take into account your full story, not just a snippet of what you share in a text box. They bring years, sometimes decades, of real world experience, scientific methods, and firsthand accounts of healing to every single session.

That kind of care cannot be coded. It is built through a deep and lasting commitment to people and to healing.

You deserve more than an algorithm. You deserve a real human who is fully invested in your journey. 🙌

Summer has officially arrived in Athens, and while the season brings a change of pace, your personal growth doesn't have to slow down with it.
Summer is actually one of the most supportive times to begin therapy — whether it's the flexibility of summer scheduling or simply needing a calm, cool space to process the year so far.

As spring blossoms around us, it's a beautiful reminder that growth isn't limited to what we can see. The flowers blooming right now are only here because of the deep, unseen work that happened beneath the surface long before the first bud appeared.

So don't judge your own progress only by what is visible to the outside world. Your roots are growing deep.
