About

Hi! My name is Bukurije, but everyone calls me Buki. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York and Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 4+ years of professional work experience.

I help clients struggling with maternal mental health issues, pregnancy/fertility issues, parenting, depression, anxiety, trauma, career or school-related issues, stress or grief. Healing is possible with the right tools and support and we can accomplish that.

My goal is to help my clients heal by feeling empowered, having the tools to cope with life’s challenges and achieving mental wellbeing and overall wellness. With my diverse background and experiences, I can help you gain insight, set goals and develop coping mechanisms. I have worked with very diverse clients and I use multiple therapeutic approaches and techniques including:
- Multicultural Counseling (Culturally Sensitive)
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
- DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy)
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
- Trauma-informed & Compassion Focused
- Motivational Interviewing
- Mindfulness-based
- Strengths Based
- Emotion-focused
- Interpersonal Therapy

I have experienced many of life's challenges like many of you and have benefitted from therapy myself. That's how I am able to connect with my clients and provide a unique perspective on coping with mental health struggles. I can provide an objective viewpoint and offer you support and feedback within a safe, supportive and understanding environment.

I look forward to working with you!
