As a licensed substance use and addiction counselor, I believe that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey—it’s a deeply personal process that deserves compassion, respect, and hope. Every individual’s story is unique, and so are the reasons behind their struggles with substance use. My approach is rooted in the belief that healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and supported without judgment. I view my role not as someone who tells clients what recovery “should” look like, but as a guide who helps them discover what recovery means for them.
As a therapist rooted in Buddhist principles, my approach respects the innate wisdom each individual possesses. I believe clients are their own best experts in healing, and my role is to support them in uncovering their truths and navigating their journeys toward healing and self-discovery.
I hold a Master's in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness from New York University, which has enriched my understanding and practice of therapeutic techniques. I strive to create a safe, compassionate space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Within this sanctuary, we work collaboratively to shift perspectives, fostering greater happiness and joy.
Ultimately, my deepest aspiration as a therapist is to facilitate a healing environment where individuals feel seen, heard, and valued.
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.

Come and start your journey towards a better life. I will help you develop resilience and strengthen your inner core. I will work with you to develop problem solving skills, and learn effective communication skills. I am an empathetic listener with over 10 years of experience in this field.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Lexington
Finding couples therapists in Lexington starts with identifying what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. If you are searching for a therapist for relationship problems, review each therapist’s listed specialties and training. Many couples look for licensed marriage family therapists, licensed mental health counselors, or therapists trained in approaches such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy.
In a smaller city like Lexington, the number of nearby couples therapists may be more limited than in Boston or other larger areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in Massachusetts. Since couples therapy needs to work for both partners, compare appointment availability, session structure, and whether the therapist offers a brief phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how each person describes their communication style, approach to family and marriage counseling, and experience with relationship counselling.
Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can search for couples therapists who accept your plan, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you are ready. This makes it easier to find care that fits your needs, schedule, and coverage.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
