Relationship Issues Therapists in Arts District, Dallas, TX

With over 40 years of experience, I choose to work with motivated clients who are willing to take responsibility for becoming well and happy. I use a positive psychology approach, building on strengths while directly addressing problems head-on. I don't use a lot of diagnosis, preferring to see each person as an individual capable of overcoming problems and reaching her/his goals. I work with the person as a whole being, and am willing to address issues of spirituality if the client chooses. I have particular expertise in dealing with emotional issues and relationship healing.

I practice what I term Integral Personal Growth Work....integrating body, mind and spirit. I embrace the belief that each of carries within us the capacity for healing, growth and the recovery of our original birthright for wholeness. My work is intended to facilitate and cooperate with what is already "wanting to happen" with-in each of us. I seek to address early damage, emotional deficits and developmental traumas that can block our capacity for full aliveness leaving us consciously and unconsciously locked into coping patterns that often inhibit our becoming all we can be and celebrating the gifts that are our true essence.

WEEKEND AND EVENING APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE. I provide direct, insightful feedback that allows a client to confidently learn to manage their own lives in a healthy and productive way. I enjoy working with clients who take responsibility for their own behaviors and are willing to look at where they are called to grow. I understand the role of spirituality in counseling and psychology. I also understand the difference between spirituality and religiosity. My wide life experience is my greatest asset to offer to clients. This experience serves the client well as we address the concerns and issues that the client faces.

My passion and specialty is working with people to build the relationships they want.

Dr. Buckner is a recognized authority on the causes and cures of painful encounters between intimate partners. During her 30+ year history in private practice as a clinical psychologist specializing in relationship issues, she also trained relationship therapists worldwide, enjoyed media exposure (including The Oprah Winfrey Show),and authored the book "Making Real Love Happen--The New ERA of Intimacy." Simply said,she helps people develop relationships they love. This work is quite different than the stereotypic "marriage counseling."

You feel overwhelmed and burnt out by the world’s expectations. If you're honest, you feel lost and alone, and your relationships are suffering. You wish you were free from the lies you’ve been believing – the thing is, they don’t feel like lies anymore; they’ve become background noise and they feel so true. Whether it’s about who you are or how you're showing up in your relationships, there's a voice telling you that you're not good enough, not worth it, and don’t deserve to be happy. My work is focused on helping you grow in self-awareness, knowing your value, and uprooting destructive beliefs while replacing them with new truths.

Seeking counsel is considered as a wise decision, so you are doing the right thing.
