Currently Accepting New Clients

Thank you for considering R.E.A.L. Therapy Solutions for your counseling or coaching needs.

Dr. Buckingham speaks with new clients by appointment only. New clients are accepted only after an initial 20-minute phone consultation. This allows you an opportunity to speak with Dr. Buckingham to ask questions while giving him an opportunity to discuss your needs and goals.

The purpose of the initial 20-minute consultation is to allow you and Dr. Buckingham to determine if you all are a good fit to work together. Dr. Buckingham will answer questions about the counseling and/or coaching process and discuss schedule of fees. 

**Please keep in mind that the initial consultation will end promptly because Dr. Buckingham has back-to-back consultations.
