Jason Buening

My therapeutic method is tailored to fit your temperament and individual experience. You may be facing a combination of personal, social, and institutional adversity. Discomfort may be unavoidable, but you are not alone; I can help you transform hardship or tragedy into resilience. My process is effective; it evolves as you do. If you experience negative feelings like inadequacy, grief, or shame, I can help you understand the origin of the discomfort and make changes toward ease. Sometimes, worry can be helpful; other times, anxiety and depression lie to us. Having worked in both economically-strained and prosperous communities, I have seen the impact of trauma and neglect on various people. I also understand being a white male can insulate me against the prejudice and discrimination commonly experienced by people of color, women, and the LGBTQ community; I trust my client’s experiences and take responsibility for my blind spots.

Dr. Jason Buening’s approach is fulfilling because he cares and is so invested in your success. Sometimes, therapy can be hard; other times, he uses humor to lighten tough conversations. Therapy doesn’t need to resemble a TV drama. He will help you identify root obstacles and connect to your passions while finding clarity, improved self-esteem, and direction.

From your first call I will help you build confidence and hone the skills to best manage relationships, identify obstacles and connect to your strengths. I help parents, professionals and adolescents shed old patterns to achieve their most fulfilled, balanced, and purposeful life. Rather than surface level changes, I address change on an an identity level.

If you are feeling burnt-out, fatigued or frustrated, we will individually tailor an approach to equip you with the tools to emerge confident and progress independently. Together let's eliminate obstacles at the root so you connect consistently, benefit from increased self-esteem and reclaim your momentum. Call to talk now and schedule a free consultation.
