Trevor Buser

Trevor Buser, Dr., is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia (GA LPC LPC006749) and an associate professor of counseling who teaches students training to become clinical mental health counselors.

He brings six years of clinical experience to work on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, family conflict, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and career-related difficulties. He works as a male, older practitioner and approaches counseling as a collaborative process in which he joins clients in pursuing their goals.

Trevor aims to build an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. He views the cultivation of lasting well-being as a gradual, reflective process that often requires questioning familiar routines and letting go of inherited patterns that limit growth.

In practice he values a genuine, accepting, and direct relationship with clients, using empathy to form a strong therapeutic alliance and to understand clients' lives. For shorter-term work he commonly integrates person-centered foundations with cognitive strategies, helping clients identify unhelpful thoughts and belief systems that shape feelings and options. He supports a process of trying alternative ways of thinking so additional options for growth can emerge.

Trevor trusts that clients carry many of the resources needed for change and that motivation to try something new is a key ingredient in effective counseling. He welcomes the chance to explore what matters most in life alongside clients, echoing Mary Oliver’s question: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
