My name is Kristen Buckley. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) dedicated to supporting adults as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful, lasting change. My practice focuses on treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use, using a compassionate, client-centered approach tailored to each individual’s unique experiences and goals.
I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we work to build insight, develop practical coping strategies, and foster resilience in the face of stress and adversity. Whether you’re seeking relief from overwhelming symptoms or looking to better understand yourself, my goal is to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and balance.
In your first session, you can expect a supportive, collaborative space where we begin getting to know each other and exploring what brings you to therapy. We’ll talk about your current concerns, relevant background, and what you hope to gain from our work together. There is no pressure to share everything at once—this process moves at your pace.
We will also go over practice policies, answer any questions you may have, and begin identifying initial goals for therapy if it feels helpful. The first session is primarily an opportunity for you to feel heard, ask questions, and determine whether this feels like a good fit.
