Mental Health Practice – New Beginnings Counseling & Wellness Center
New Beginnings Counseling & Wellness Center is a telehealth-only mental health practice based in DeLand, FL 32724. The practice is operated by Allison (Alli) Bankston, who holds multiple active licenses: LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in Florida, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in New Jersey, Oregon, and Connecticut, and PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certified). This combination of multistate licensure and specialized certification reflects a practice scope that spans general individual mental health care and targeted support for individuals navigating pregnancy, the postpartum period, and related perinatal transitions.
All services are delivered exclusively via telehealth, with no in-person sessions available at any location. This remote-only format allows the practice to reach clients across the four states where Bankston holds active licensure without geographic restriction. Services offered include individual therapy and consulting services. The clinical approaches listed on the site are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy, both applied to anxiety and depression as the two primary presenting concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and modifying thought and behavior patterns, while solution-focused therapy centers on client strengths and goals rather than on problem history. The practice describes its purpose as supporting individuals through challenging life circumstances and those actively working toward new personal directions.
Perinatal mental health is a defined area of specialization. The PMH-C credential is issued by Postpartum Support International and denotes advanced training in identifying and addressing mental health conditions that can arise during pregnancy and in the months following birth, including postpartum anxiety and postpartum depression.
The practice maintains a verified listing on Psychology Today and an active presence on both Facebook and Instagram. Prospective clients may submit appointment requests or complete client intake forms directly through the practice website at any time.
