I believe that healing begins within safe, supportive relationships, and I work intentionally to foster that space for every family I serve. Whether I'm walking alongside caregivers, supporting children, or helping adults navigate major transitions, I lead with warmth, empathy, and a deep commitment to the importance of early relationships and secure attachments. My hope is that every client feels truly seen, heard, and empowered in their journey. My approach is rooted in compassion, cultural responsiveness, and a strong focus on connection. As an immigrant, I have a special passion for supporting immigrant families and individuals as they navigate pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the early stages of parenting. As a trilingual clinician, I offer care in English, Farsi, and Dari. As an immigrant, non-native English speaker, and a woman with a traumatic birth story, my experiences have shaped my understanding. These challenges throughout my life have allowed me to connect with others facing trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and other life challenges. Using research, personal experience, and compassion, we can work together.

In a world full of uncertainties, it takes courage to seek support. I believe that life is a process of learning and unlearning, and that all people deserve the opportunity to examine their concerns with a professional who is prepared to honor and respect their individual stories. Areas of practice include depression, anxiety, grief, spiritual, relational and sexual concerns, trauma, and issues with identity and belonging. I use a combination of methods including CBT and systems focused psychotherapy to help others live with intentionality in order to regain a sense of agency and follow their own path towards healing. My approach is centered in cultural humility, dignity, respect, and consideration. I value connection: with one’s mind and body, with family and community, both local and global. I believe that freedom, liberation, and healing is interconnected.

I work with women in early adulthood who are navigating major life transitions while developing a clearer sense of self. Many notice a constant hum of anxiety, getting stuck in looping thoughts, or having intense reactions to seemingly small events, leaving themselves tense, restless, or unsure how to respond. Anxiety, perfectionism, attentional or executive function differences, and early childhood experiences can all add to these overwhelming feelings that we can work together to manage them. We’ll explore emotional patterns and life experiences, developing ways to relate differently to anxiety or reoccurring thought loops and support you in shaping relationships that feel more attuned to your needs. Together, we can focus on aligning your choices with your values and developing ways to setting boundaries that feel authentic and self-directed.

When we are able to shed feelings of shame and be vulnerable, we are able to dream, to embrace change as possible and then practice it. When we become aware of and in tune with our emotions—one of the many things that institutional injustices make more difficult—we learn about ourselves, our capacities, and our needs. We can then set boundaries and improve our relationships. We are then able to help ourselves with clear intent and invite our communities to support us. Areas of practice include depression, anxiety, attachment styles, non-monogamy, sexuality and gender issues, HIV, and self-worth. The context of your experiences has shaped you in this complicated and profound world; how can we work together to find generative solutions for your life? How can I best support you in achieving your vision for healing? I use an eclectic approach of psychodynamic, harm reduction, systems-based perspectives, and emotionally- and relationally-focused therapy.

Do you find it difficult to open up or let yourself feel close to others? Do you worry that if people truly understood you, they might reject you? My goal is to create a space where you can safely explore your deepest thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. I specialize in working with individuals who come from challenging family backgrounds and need support in feeling safe and secure in their relationships—whether with family, friends, or partners. I believe that change and healing occur in the context of a strong therapeutic relationship. I utilize a client-centered approach integrating psychodynamic theory with mindfulness and behavioral approaches.

I love working with children and teens! Connecting to a child's world is so interesting. I thoroughly enjoy engaging with their creativity and curiosity. I understand children are sensitive to the relationships in their life. Times of stress can take a toll on all relationships, the one with ourselves, with our family members, and often times our children. I work to be present, offer a nonjudgmental, and understanding atmosphere. Making sense of life's challenges and choices can be complicated. Let me help your child and family navigate through challenges to reclaim your peace and gain a new sense of freedom. My years of experience in child behavioral health have been spent in various setting including community, outpatient clinics, and school-based. I apply evidence based treatments to assist my client in discovering their own potential. I am an affirming therapist who works with all members of the LGBTQ community.

I work with individuals who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and self-esteem. I strongly believe that we each have the ability to understand our past traumas, current life stressors, and how these may become barriers to our goals. Using an individualized approach, consistency, and evidence based therapeutic techniques, I strive to create a supportive and safe space where you feel comfortable processing your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. We will work together to identify and develop your strengths, so that we can utilize them to meet your needs.

Integrative and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in PA, NJ and DE.

Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed by classes, work, or family expectations. Anxious about the future. Stuck in relationship patterns that keep hurting, or questioning who you are and where you’re headed. Perhaps you’re navigating trauma, a painful breakup or betrayal, loneliness, identity questions, academic pressure, or a major life transition. You might look like you’re holding it together on the outside, while inside you feel disconnected, exhausted, or never quite enough. You may long to feel more grounded, confident, connected, and understood. If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. My therapy practice offers a calm, compassionate space where college students and young adults can slow down, feel seen, and make sense of what they’re going through.

My name is Eve Buck (she/her/hers), and I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor. I work with individuals and couples living in New York and Pennsylvania at my virtual practice. I completed my master’s degree in mental health counseling from Teachers College, Columbia University. My previous training includes working with undergraduate and graduate students at the Fordham University counseling center, as well as community practices where I have worked with culturally diverse clients from all walks of life. I particularly enjoy working with young adults and senior adults and have specialized training in therapy for people who identify as Latinx. It is through the experiences and lessons I have learned along my work and personal journeys that I hope to support your path toward overcoming your personal struggles and finding greater fulfillment. I pride myself on utilizing a multicultural approach to therapy while bringing in teachings and principles of multiple disciplines, drawing mainly from psychodynamic therapy among other evidence-based practices. It is this multidisciplinary approach that I believe best serves clients, allowing space for present-minded problem solving as well as exploration into a client’s past, relationships, and emotional experience. Our work together can be tailored based on your life story and experiences and what you hope to gain from therapy. Everyone’s therapy journey is different. Whether it’s working through trauma or beginning a path towards better self-understanding, I strive to provide an open, non-judgmental, and productive space where people can find relief from distressing symptoms as well as develop a stronger sense of self through insight and reflection. Just like each person is unique, each treatment is different and adapted to who you are and what you need. I recognize the wide breadth of human experience and I bring this knowledge with me to best meet your needs. Life can be difficult and confusing, but as your therapist I will be there to empathize with and support you through it.

I work closely with individuals experiencing trauma concerns, relationship difficulties, and identity & self-esteem challenges. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Clients come to me seeking deeper self-understanding, more secure relationships, and a stronger sense of safety—both within themselves and in connection to others. You may find that past relationships and life experiences continue to shape how you see yourself, navigate relationships, set boundaries, or respond to stress. I use a psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and somatic-based approach. Utilizing trauma-informed care, I often focus on nervous system support and incorporate mind-body approaches. As a dance/movement therapist, I may also integrate movement when it aligns with someone's goals and comfort. Most importantly, I try to create a safe and collaborative environment where clients feel respected, heard, and empowered. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself and others—so you can move toward the life you want with clarity and strength. Through my own personal experiences, I can relate to the unique pressures that can arise in immigrant and high-achieving families, including perfectionism, over-responsibility, and people-pleasing. I bring personal understanding of navigating multiple cultural influences while recognizing each person's unique experience. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, playing with my cat, and trying new restaurants.

People often seek therapy to resolve past experiences and life complexities and the decision to enter therapy may carry feelings of ambivalence and uncertainty. I believe that therapy is most effective when persons are offered an environment that is inviting, collaborative, affirming, and safe. Subsequently, my goal is to provide a challenging, but non-judgmental and encouraging atmosphere for persons to explore concerns and difficulties as a means of achieving desired change. I have been trained in psychodynamic and gestalt therapy and trauma and attachment theory and I integrate these theoretical constructs to understand the uniqueness of each person. Further, I include harm reduction, cultural, strengths perspective, and social justice lenses to recognize each person's lived experience. In end, I have an extensive history working with persons of queer and trans/GNC experience and specific interest in working with complex trauma, substance misuse and addiction, attachment, and grief/loss. I offer an informed perspective when working with persons in polyamorous relationships and/or the kink community.
