Dr. Bush is currently a private practitioner helping her clients learn to better monitor and regulate their thoughts, their feelings and their lives. Dr. Bush uses an integrative therapeutic style which ensures that every client is receiving treatment that is individually tailored to his or her specific needs at that time. Dr. Bush prides herself on "meeting her clients where they are" and working towards creating a collaborative vision for the future. She acknowledges that therapy takes a significant investment (both financially and time-wise) for the client and as such, her focus is on maximizing take-home skills and helping the client to translate the work within her office into their lives. Dr. Bush is also a firm believer that talking about a problem is not always enough. As such, she often incorporates real life opportunities for patients to face their fears and learn to use skills in those moments.
