Sometimes pain is unavoidable, especially as a teen or young adult. You might be feeling sad, worried, or like no one else in the world understands. Maybe you are struggling in school or work, or having a hard time making friends. Or maybe you are in a difficult family situation, or are completely overwhelmed by what you want your future to be like. You may be noticing things like withdrawing from others or even physically harming yourself. However you are experiencing your pain right now, I welcome the opportunity to work with you to form new patterns and explore the pain that lies underneath your current ones.

If we work together you'll have the opportunity to explore your thoughts and emotions in a caring atmosphere. We can think together about what might best help you work through the difficulties you're facing so that you can begin creating a life for yourself that is enjoyable and fulfilling. My practice focuses on female and nonbinary teens and young adults.

I invite you to explore my website (www.denisebuckinghamlicsw.com) for more information on working with me, my background and training, as well as blog articles on mental health related topics. I welcome you contacting me with questions or to talk about if I might be a good fit to work with you or your teen. Email is preferred method of first contact for new clients.
