Kamarra Buening

I'm glad you stopped by! Here's a bit about me: I've been practicing in a variety of mental health settings for 10+ years, and I currently work with ages of older adolescents and adults. I received my Master's degree in Social Work (MSW) and my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have experience working in schools, university counseling centers, inpatient psychiatric care and outpatient mental health settings. My therapy style is empathetic, supportive, and encouraging, and I use solution-oriented and motivational interventions when appropriate. As a generalist practitioner, I include a variety of therapeutic techniques as I believe in meeting each individual or family where they are while taking into consideration each person’s unique experiences. I use a wide-range of approaches that tailor treatment toward your strengths and needs, including cognitive-behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavior (DBT), mindfulness, solution-focused, interpersonal therapy, and motivational interviewing. When I'm not practicing as a therapist, I enjoy being outside, taking long walks with my dog, spending time with my friends & family, and traveling.
