Ms Denise Buckingham, MSW

Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker

“Therapist providing psychotherapy to adults, teens, and pre-teens with anxiety, OCD and trauma using psychodynamic theories, Flash, and ERP as desired and appropriate.”

About me

I offer a supportive space where we slow things down and look at what’s really going on beneath the surface. Therapy with me is collaborative and responsive. I also am trained in Flash, which is a trauma-processing method similar to EMDR, and ERP, which is helpful for OCD and phobias. See my website for more info on what sessions with me look like.

Approach

I value using a variety of treatment approaches and tailoring treatment to each client. No person is the same, and therefore I approach therapy differently with everyone. I draw from several different treatment methods, including psychodynamic theories, ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention), Flash (a treatment for processing trauma), and CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy). I do not use all of these methods with every client, but rather work together with each person to identify which methods may be most helpful for each person's unique struggles and experiences. Throughout treatment, I also value asking for feedback and using insights gained from this to adjust how our session time is spent, including by using more or less of a particular treatment method as desired and needed by each client.
