Eric Buck Psychotherapy Associates Eric Buck has been in practice as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Davis and Sacramento f

Most of the techniques I use are research tested and I have received special post-graduate training to become skillful with them. For instance my couples work is highly influenced by the research of John Gottman of the Gottman Institute in Seattle. You can read about the research and the methods by going to www.gottman.com. My usual approach works best with people that have difficulties in work, love, or play or people who have disorders of the self. Often times successful people come to me for working on areas that need attention or that are creating obstacles for their continued success. For example many people have not finished grieving or mourning for certain loved ones or life stages and this can become an unconscious obstacle. My patients often come to see me to take a new path and deeper approach to dealing with anxiety and or depression issues and we have been very successful over the years in treating issues in these areas including anxiety with agoraphobia. Because of my ability to listen and see from many psychotherapeutic lenses & speak many psychotherapeutic languages including family systems therapy and individual therapy, I have always had a concentration in my work for Special Services For Teenagers and Families. My work is focused on making the unconscious conscious and helping people become more integrated. In simple terms this means that healing can come from linking thinking with feelings, inner with outer, past with present, beliefs with behaviors and emotions, fantasy and reality, waking states and dream states. This is particularly important with patients who have suffered trauma or abuse of various kinds or who are extremely sensitive. Naturally, this approach is well suited for those on various symptom spectrums in which they are deficient in empathy for others and themselves and at the same time have trouble developing a a ‘theory of mind’ for self and others.
