Written on Oct 05, 2025 after therapy with Thomas for 1 year and 6 months on issues concerning trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and bipolar disorder
Thomas is a very helpful therapist, and a great man, an encouragement, a good listener, and he helped me to focus on what was healthy for me, which I needed encouragement on because I sometimes liked to focus somewhere else.
I found Thomas's vocabulary different from mine, and that sometimes made my ability to understand his wisdom more of a challenge. However, whenever I asked what he meant by what he said, he explained it to me clearly and immediately, and I found it was very applicable, helpful, practical, simple, and down-to-earth wisdom: exactly the kind of thing I needed more of. I appreciate Thomas's ability to see that and apply it to me, and to encourage what I am doing well, and to suggest other things that I could try as well.

Thomas is kind and heartfelt in his conversations. He is good at keeping me on topic and steering the conversation back towards goal setting, and general themes that help me stay organized. It feels like talking to an old friend.

Dr. Buckner is an amazing listener and helped me towards steps in rediscovering my inner strength and being empowered. And he’s very flexible with scheduling and patient. I’ve been able to grow so much these past couple of months. Thank you so much!

Thomas Buckner has been a huge help to me. He’s not a robot. He speaks to me with genuine concern. I think he’s a South Sider too, so there you go. Best ears on the planet reside in south cook county, Illinois.

I am very thankful for having been paired with Thomas. He knows how to connect with me and gives me great advice when I get stuck in my head. Checks on me when I haven’t wrote in my journal to make sure I’m doing well. Very thankful.
