Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Wellesley, MA covered by Cigna

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.

Looking for a therapist who'll be honest with you — not just agreeable? I offer direct, compassionate care, all from the comfort of wherever you are. I'll validate what you're feeling when it needs to be heard, and gently challenge you when it's time to look at things differently. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we'll work together to reshape the narratives keeping you stuck and help you see your life through a new lens.

What should your client know about you?

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of experience working with adolescents and adults across a range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. I also work with individuals with Neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD), learning disorders, and communication disorders.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with experience in community mental health, crisis intervention, and counseling. I specialize in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and adversity, and I approach therapy from a holistic perspective—seeing each client as a whole person within the context of their environment.

My work is rooted in being trauma-informed, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I often integrate somatic therapy and mindfulness, recognizing that trauma is carried not only in the mind but also in the body. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, build resilience, and move toward healing.

I graduated from Simmons University with my Masters's Degree in Social Work in 2023. I have over 14 years of work and volunteer experience working with adolescents between the ages of 14-22 year olds. For the past 8 years, I have been working with young men between the ages of 13-21 in an alternative school setting. Over the last several years, I have taken a special interest in helping students navigate the emotional and logistical transition from high school into adulthood.

I am compassionate and eager to help my clients understand and overcome their struggles.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in the Tampa Bay Area and provide therapy in Florida and Massachusetts. I have over 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I have a background in treating co-occurring disorders, common mental health and life challenges. I am passionate about helping young adults, women, and members of the faith community.

I have been in the field of Social Work for over 25 years. Over these years I have had the pleasure of working with adults and older adults dealing with everything from life transitions, depression, anxiety, and alcohol abuse to major mental illness and end of life issues. I enjoy using my educational and personal life experience to inform my practice.

Hi, I'm Kimberly. I work with adults carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use, often alongside each other. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I draw on my clinical background to help you understand what you're bringing into each session and build goals that fit your life. I'd love to be part of your next step forward.

Welcome! I have been in practice since 2014, upon receiving my Master's Degree in Community Mental Health and Counseling Psychology from the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology. I have a wide range of experience in various clinical settings working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am passionate about providing empathetic yet effective and comprehensive treatment to vulnerable and marginalized populations.

I am a down-to-earth, approachable therapist with over a decade of experience supporting teenagers, young adults, and their families. Many clients arrive hesitant about therapy but quickly find a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where they can talk about anything. I strive to be responsive to each person’s life experiences, including gender- and race-based toxic stress and trauma. I completed my training at Boston University and spent several years working with a multidisciplinary team at a safety-net hospital.

I have over 35 years of healthcare experience in a variety of fields.

I am dual certified in both family and psychiatric medicine.

I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, understood, and accepted. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace while building insight, resilience, and meaningful change.

I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Michigan State University and am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). I provide telehealth therapy for adults throughout Michigan, Massachusetts, and Illinois.
