Contact me to schedule a therapy session or speaking opportunity at dr.puckett@oasisprocess.com or 847.899.7302.
I offer individual, couple, and family therapy sessions to people of all ages. My therapeutic approach integrates traditional psychodynamic psychotherapy with a variety of mind-body practices, including mindfulness and therapeutic laughter. I hold a PhD in Clinical Social Work from the University of Chicago. I am also available for speaking opportunities.
While I have had a broad range of experience over my 40 year career, my specialties and passions include:
Managing anxiety and stress
Healing depression
Parenting challenges
Strengthening relationships
Recovery from trauma
Self-actualization & living with vitality and purpose
Life transitions, including medical issues
Supporting kids to thrive and adapt
Learning emotional self-regulation
Open heartedness; I am welcoming to all people
Each of us possesses a vast reserve of inner strength, calm and wisdom that I call the inner oasis. We may be living in an emotional desert: feeling lonely, disconnected, or continually depleted. The possibility of relief may seem like a mirage, appearing just ahead, but never materializing. Together we will discover and cultivate your own inner oasis. You will learn how to tap into your oasis of strength, calm, and wisdom to heal, build trust, and be empowered to step into your most authentic self, living with vitality and purpose.
I invite you to embark on the journey with me!
