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.

If I'm not the perfect fit, I'll help find a counselor that is. I work with many issues faced by people age 20-60. I specialize in PTSD, complex , complex anxieties and depression often using EMDR as an adjunct to traditional solution focused talk therapy. It's an approach often helpful for survivors of abuse, chaotic childhoods, and first responders. I work with teenagers and adults that feel anxious or depressed or just stressed out. This includes clients that are suicidal, self-injure and mismanage anger.

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.

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 passion is working with children and families, whether that is coping with normal life transition difficulties (e.g., separation anxiety, bed wetting, behavior problems in school, etc.) or dealing with the harder stuff (e.g., attachment disorders, divorce, bullying, abuse, etc.) I facilitate play therapy with kiddos, and have a playroom with a variety of toys where children are able to use their natural language of play to express needs in a developmentally appropriate manner.

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."

To discover the underlying issues that feed conflict and learn how to develop the behaviors that will create "love" require new learning.

I have been in practice 16-years and have opened my service area thanks to Google Meet & Facetime.

I believe that every person has inherent value, and was uniquely made for this Earth. Most people saw the best in themselves and others, when at some point they were overcome with disappointment, hurt, or other of life's challenges.
