I provide compassionate therapy tailored to your particular needs. Together we would set goals and work to bring the needed changes into your life. I am not dedicated to a single particular theory or technique, but will use whatever works best for you. Often traditional talk therapy is most effective, but I have also successfully used cognitive/behavioral therapy, dream analysis, writing, art therapy, meditation, sand trays, group therapy, experiential therapy, and guided imagery. I also work to help you explore and strengthen your higher values and whatever you find most meaningful in your life.

Although I work with a variety of clients, my primary speciality is children (and their parents) who struggle with behavioral and/or emotional problems, using playful and positive means to help them with anger management, expression of feelings, and relationships with friends and family. I always welcome the opportunity to work with parents, families and couples under stress. Let's face it: aren't we all? No situation is beyond hope; my clients leave our sessions with real insight and tools with which to move beyond their troubling issues.

It's hard to struggle, but it is even harder to struggle alone. I work with individual adults, adolescents, couples and families. Please visit my website at www.carolbuttery.com to see more complete information about my practice. I am happy to talk with you to see if working with me feels like a good fit for you!

Dr. Tucker specializes in comprehensive assessments for school-aged children (age six years through graduate school) that are personalized and focused on understanding the child as a whole. In addition to identifying areas of difficulty, Dr. Tucker highlights each child's strengths and uses these strengths to inform interventions. Her assessments yield an integrated picture of a child's cognitive, academic, and social-emotional development as well as specific recommendations for improving functioning in all three areas. A goal of the assessment process is for each patient/family to emerge empowered and equipped to move forward.

Therapy offers potential for healing and opportunity for growth, and I am passionate about supporting clients through this process. I work with individuals, couples, and families in a variety of practice areas including anxiety, depression, relational conflict, identity development, and life transitions. I believe that each person has a unique story and carries valuable potential that is waiting to be unlocked and refined. I guide clients toward developing the personal strength and balance needed to meet life’s challenges, and I empower clients to live authentic, purposeful, and connected lives. I help clients uncover patterns that they seek to change and work with them to find new, creative solutions for moving forward to achieve their goals. As a former educator, I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents. I understand the challenges that both children and parents face in today’s world and how these affect family dynamics. Since relational interactions are important to mental and emotional health, I work with clients on developing positive communication skills in order to experience more fulfilling and harmonious relationships in all areas of life.

Everything is connected; our work together includes better understanding these connections, what is working, and what may not be working. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship, which is why I work to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for my clients to be their authentic selves.

Relationship(s) overrun by conflict? As an experiential psychotherapist, I offer interactive sessions designed to support greater self-awareness, increased self-regulation, effective communication, and responsible choice making. We will begin by identifying your strengths as well as exploring the challenges in your life, then tailor a plan that fits you. As a clinician, I am attentive, sensitive, compassionate, respectful, and direct.

I work with children, from preschool through teens, families, and adults. Young children often manifest their emotions and experiences through their behavior, and I use art therapy, play therapy, sandtray techniques, and a positive, warm connection to help work through and translate their inner experience. With older children and adults, I personalize the therapeutic sessions using a blend of art therapy, sand tray, and traditional talk therapy to explore and transform areas of difficulty.

Are you unhappy and stuck in the same patterns? Maybe you feel as if you are living on autopilot always fulfilling endless obligations that feel empty or meaningless? If so, I would love to work with you! I enjoy assisting people who would like things to change but aren't sure how to make this happen. Life is too short to feel stuck! I am dedicated to helping people find their inner truth so they may live an authentic, conscious and meaningful life that is a reflection of who they truly are.

As a psychologist, teacher, mother and trauma specialist, I enjoy working with teens, young adults, adults and couples who are trying to feel better.

If you are wondering how your history may be affecting your current life, we may be a good fit. If you are looking for a psychotherapist who will help you help yourself, we may be a good fit.

I have two main specialties. I work with athletes, dancers and musicians of all levels, and business executives who are in transitions as a result of injuries, retirement, or the desire to make changes in direction with their sport, instrument or career; as well as often working with their family members. I also consult with high schools, universities, and professional coaching, training and teaching staffs about their teams and about individual athletes who are in transitions. My other specialty is training clinicians to work with all types of eating disorders, and working directly with people who suffer from eating disorders.

As a clinical social worker, I have an eclectic approach to treatment. I help you examine your life experience holistically. I walk beside you in treatment, support you in your endeavors, and cheer you on towards wellness. My therapeutic approach and compassion are rooted in my past work with the homeless population, foster youth, the severe and persistently mental ill, and survivors of rape, domestic violence, sexual assault, and child abuse. After receiving an M.S.W. from the University of Southern California, I practiced in the Los Angeles and San Francisco area.

As a biomedical engineer and clinical hypnotist, I have developed a unique approach to mind-body wellness and performance optimization. For over 30 years I have helped people suffering from stress, anxiety, insomnia, addiction, panic, fears, phobias, chronic illness, allergies, weight loss and more.

At times, life can be challenging. Children, adolescents, adults, couples, and even families may need to learn new coping skills. I believe working with a therapist can provide a pathway that allows people to reconnect with their strengths and discover new possibilities for their lives. You can be happier! As a therapist, I can facilitate your ability to understand yourself and the important people in your world. I encourage my clients to make changes that can help them live more happily. I provide a thoughtful, humanistic, solution-focused perspective and work collaboratively with my clients.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. It is my goal to work in partnership with you and the appropriate family and community members to consider all factors which may be influencing your mental health and well being. Together we will design a plan to support your own resilience and innate healing response. My philosophy is more pragmatic, than theoretical. The focus is not merely on the treatment of symptoms of the disorder, but on achieving health, and a renewed sense of purpose, meaning, and joy. I strive to provide responsive and effective assistance with compassion and respect.

I am a clinical psychologist that works with children, adolescents, and adults in both English and Spanish. I believe that compassion and insight into one's personal struggles can lead to powerful, positive changes in life. I specialize in pediatric neuropsychological testing for children and young adults regarding learning, developmental, social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. My collaborative approach to psychological testing seeks to empower parents and their child to gain a new perspective and deeper understanding of a particular child's unique strengths and individualized needs.

Are you struggling to connect with or set healthy boundaries with your child? Have you heard the dreaded words, “I hate you” and are at a loss for what to do? Does your child exhibit rigid, inflexible, or solitary play, and have difficulty playing with you or peers? Does your child or teen seem far ahead of their peers in certain cognitive areas but behind emotionally, organizationally, or socially? Do you or your child feel different from and misunderstood by others at work or school? Or are you, your family, or your relationship repeating unhealthy patterns? Struggling with anxiety, sadness, ADHD, high conflict, or avoidance?

Everyone has challenges and battles to fight. A pain-free life is not always possible. Even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s difficulties. Whether you struggle with depression, grief, anxiety, or other issues, you should know there is hope for better tomorrows.

I offer treatment for both individuals and couples, primarily addressing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relational issues, family conflict, life transitions and health issues.
