TESTIMONIALS FROM CLIENTS:
Dr. Busse has been amazing…very intelligent, thoughtful, and as importantly, warm and compassionate. This is a more interactive therapy than I’ve been in before and he asks questions that make me think about things in ways I’ve not done before. Something that has really surprised me is how he ‘does his homework’. That is, he will do research on issues that you bring to him, so that he can be best informed to help — quite a difference from my past experience in therapy. In short, I am grateful to have a therapist of Dr. Busse’s calibre.

“By the time I asked for help I was so overwhelmed by stress and anxiety that my major reaction was one of fear and exhaustion. Dr. Busse’s non-judgmental encouragement gave me a safe place to see my problems through a different lens. Through his therapeutic questioning and reframing and use of EMDR, I found lifelines out of my emotional tunnel. Today, even though fear is sometimes still part of the landscape, my ability to create and live in a broader reality has returned.” —-Joan J.
I am a 40-year old woman who has seen multiple therapists throughout my lifetime, and Dr. Busse is by far the best. I came to him with debilitating problems of fear, depression, and addiction, feeing stuck in patterns I didn’t think I could ever overcome. Dr. Busse makes me feel like I’m his only client, taking great care to understand me and my motivations and triggers. Being provided with a non-judgmental and safe space and through dialogue and EMDR, I have already begun to experience an internal shift in how I think and approach the world. I recommend Dr. Busse without hesitation, except that, if too many people find out about him, he may not have as much time for me!

Testimonials Related to Marriage Counseling:
Dr. Busse is an awesome therapist. He is warm, generous, and encouraging. When I discovered that my husband was having an affair and no longer wanted to be with me, I was devastated. The pain, the shame and the lack of strength to start all over again was overwhelming. I knew that if I was going to make it, I needed help. I knew I needed someone objective and credible to help me through. I needed help in order to distinguish between reality and wishful thinking. I needed help as I embraced my profound grief and confronted my fears. I needed help so that I could distinguish and deal with my husband’s manipulations and erratic behavior. While there are no shortcuts to healing and recovery, it makes a difference to seek help for the journey. I am glad I found the help I needed in Dr. Busse’s therapy.

My wife and I are in our early eighties and I never thought I would ever seek out a marriage counselor after years of believing we should be able to solve our own problems. My wife had some terrible experiences with doctors over the years because of their lousy “bedside manner.” But we lucked out with Dr. Busse who helped me understand my wife’s mental illness and how it affected our relationship. I feel much better about everything right now. But what really counted was that my wife took to Dr. Busse almost right away and she was open to his advice and direction and well, life just seems a lot better.

Early childhood experiences that exacerbated decades of marital misunderstanding and conflict finally produced the depression that we presented to Dr. Busse. We had tried a number of approaches previously, but they only provided a band aid over an underlying boil. In Dr. Busse we were very fortunate to find a therapist who was willing and able to understand both the sources and implications of our situation. His wise and gentle use of multiple techniques, including EMDR, gradually helped us do what had not been done before – to expose and understand both the sources and solutions of seemingly intractable problems.

We were desperate to find a marriage counselor who would not just see my husband as an irresponsible freeloader or worse. He has by his own admission a pretty severe case of Attention Deficit Disorder and it affects everything in our lives together. We appreciate Dr. Busse because he was able to separate out what is ADD and what is not, how my husband can change and what limitations we have to accept. Things are still very tough but it helps so much to have a more clear direction, thanks to Dr. Busse.
