Buffy Wooten

Wooten & Associates, PLC is a group practice. Inside our practice are particularly trained associates with qualified experience in sound clinical practice. Each therapist, while having their own specialized training, participates in collective trainings and supervision in order to sharpen and enhance their skills individually. Participating in external trainings is encouraged for continued professional development. Internal consultation functions to provide support and collective wisdom for the many dynamic presentations and critical needs faced daily. Every client benefits therefore from the collective wisdom of the group while skillful and ethical practice is maintained. Our group consists of licensed psychologists, licensed associate counselors, post-graduate and pre-doctoral graduate student therapists. Associate therapists are developing therapeutic skills for the treatment of trauma-based disorders including Dialectical Behavior Therapy and exposure interventions. Graduate level students participate by observing associates, conducting evaluations and therapy under the supervision of our licensed providers. Graduate students afford us the opportunity to provide therapy on a sliding scale to those without adequate coverage for doctoral level interventions. This is an important contribution to the ongoing development of astutely trained clinicians.
