“I find it hard to quiet my racing thoughts.”
“My heart hurts and feels that joy is hard to find".”
“Chronic fears, worries and doubts leaves me discouraged.”
I can help with that
When you feel overwhelmed and discouraged, it can be hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Believe in the resiliency and strength of the human soul to overcome trials, sorrows, and fears. Whatever your current worries or heartaches, there is always hope and potential for growth. I strive to create a non-judgmental, safe place of counseling so that together we can gently walk-through your places of pain, towards healing. I work with individuals, couples, and families.
I am passionate about:
My Therapeutic Approach
Working with me, you will experience a holistic and positive approach to therapy. In a peaceful, and supportive environment, we will explore your individual story. Together we will calmly walk through your challenges and concerns as we collaborate on goals to help you lead to a more fulfilling life. We will also use the insight that you gained from working together to construct healthier thought patterns and new ways to manage emotions. I will provide an empathetic ear and encouragement as together we sift through challenges to find peace.
To see if we are a good fit, you can email, call/text me, or fill out this form to schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation. I look forward to meeting you.
more About me:
My name is Emily Buffington. I grew up in a large family in Southern California. After living in several different states around the U.S, I settled in Fort Collins, CO with my husband and five children. I try to be in nature as much as possible, preferably on the hiking or biking trails. I also enjoy reading, poetry, drawing, gardening, and watching Colorado sunsets.
