John Buscher (He, Him, His)

I have completed several Gottman trainings and I am listed on the Gottman Institute website. I have extensive experience in pre-marital counseling, couples counseling , surviving infidelity and counseling couples with ADHD. I work with couples on how to really listen, how to have constructive conflict, how to see each other with compassion and understanding, how to increase connection and intimacy. The best relationships do not happen; they are made though conscious action.

We all make up stories about the meaning of our actions or the actions of others; often they are distorted, negative and limiting narratives. I work with you to realize your historic/reflexive narratives. Then we work on changing the narrative to something that serves you. Changing the narrative is how we shift from the victim of trauma to the survivor/thriver of trauma. Failure or one step closer to success?

CBT is based on the belief that thought distortions and maladaptive behaviors play a role in the development and maintenance of psychological disorders, and that symptoms can be reduced by teaching new skills and coping mechanisms. I have had trainings in CBT for Trauma and Sexual Abuse, CBT for depression and CBT for anxiety and worry.

I help couples to practice honest and respectful ways of communicating that result in feelings of togetherness, deep friendship, trust, and passion. Together I help partners to facilitate connection and authentic communication, resolve gridlocked issues, decrease negative conflict, and deepen their emotional and sexual intimacy. I have taken advanced Gottman training and I am listed on their website.

I bring to ADHD therapy the knowledge and experience of 48 years of living with the condition. While medication can be helpful there are a host of tools to help you manage your life better and get more done. Things such as block planning, dietary modifications, ways to stick with exercise, sleep hygiene, productivity tricks for work, how ADHD affects relationships, clutter, and how to work with your nature not against it!

We live in a stressful world and sometimes it can paralyze us. I know because in the past it overwhelmed my life. Anxiety is manageable by learning better coping mechanisms, and anxiety management skills. Sometime we know what to do and just don't take the necessary actions. Let's figure out what is getting in the way. Working together you can learn to manage your anxiety, not let it manage you.
