Sinita Hankins

Hope is possible even in the darkest or most challenging situations. This powerful belief forms the foundation of Sinita Hankins' therapeutic approach at Comforting Hearts Counseling Solutions. As a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Approved Clinical Trauma Professional (ACTP), Sinita specializes in guiding individuals through the complex landscapes of depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

Sinita's practice is built on the conviction that every person deserves a life of kindness, respect, and compassion. She partners with her clients to identify and regain their strength as they work through unique challenges. Recognizing that some individuals face additional barriers due to race, gender, or economic class, Sinita is particularly attuned to the overwhelming levels of stress and trauma that can result from these experiences.

Drawing from a diverse toolkit of therapeutic approaches, Sinita employs cognitive-behavioral therapy to help clients reshape thought patterns and behaviors. She complements this with strengths-based approaches, empowering individuals to leverage their innate abilities in overcoming obstacles. Her trauma-informed techniques ensure a safe, understanding environment for processing difficult experiences. For those who desire it, Sinita also incorporates Christian faith-based approaches, offering practical spiritual wisdom that can be applied alongside other therapeutic skills and resources.

Sinita's academic foundation comes from Wayne State University, where she earned her Master's in Social Work. This educational background, combined with her professional experience, allows her to offer a comprehensive, empathetic approach to therapy. She believes that if she can help restore or lead people to hope, that's half the battle in the healing process.

At Comforting Hearts Counseling Solutions, Sinita creates a safe and nonjudgmental space for healing. Whether you're struggling with depression, navigating anxiety, processing trauma, or facing significant life changes, Sinita is committed to supporting you on your journey towards healing and wholeness. Her goal is not to "fix" problems, but to work collaboratively with you, supporting you in establishing and reaching your personal goals for growth and well-being.
