Treatment Services
Julia Buckner, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years' experience working with individuals suffering from problems related to anxiety and/or substance use. We are committed to the development and provision of state-of-the-art treatments and assessments for individuals suffering from emotional problems and problems related substance use.
