Therapy for geeks, gamers, and anyone tired of masking who they are

Online therapy for adults in Florida and Oregon.

Maybe you rehearse what to say, hold back your excitement about the things you love, or replay conversations afterward. You want to feel closer to people without spending so much energy figuring out how to be around them.

I’m Dr. Corrine Buchanan, a therapist and fellow geek

I work with adults who feel misunderstood, struggle with belonging, or are still affected by painful experiences. My approach is geek-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. The games, stories, and interests that matter to you are welcome in our conversations.

My Approach

In individual counseling, we’ll start with what brings you to therapy and what you’d like to change. I want to understand your interests, relationships, and ways of communicating, along with the experiences that have been difficult. We can talk through which approach fits your needs.

My work is geek-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. A game, character, or story can help you explain something when it feels useful. Depending on your goals, we may explore EMDR or mindfulness, with room to ask questions and discuss what is or isn’t helping.

Get to Know Me

What Happens After You Join

I’m maintaining a waitlist for new therapy clients.

  1. Join the waitlist through Paubox.

  2. Have an initial conversation. I’ll reach out to arrange a consultation call about your needs, whether we’re a good fit, and upcoming availability.

  3. Consider next steps. I can give you an estimated timeframe for starting or offer referrals if another option would better meet your needs.

Online sessions are $185 for 50 minutes for adults in Florida and Oregon.

Questions You May Have

Do I need a diagnosis or have to be a gamer to contact you?

No. You can ask about therapy whether or not you have a diagnosis or identify as neurodivergent or geeky. Tell me what you would like help with so we can consider whether working together is a good fit.

Where are your online sessions available?

I offer online therapy for adults in Florida and Oregon. Let me know where you will physically be during appointments. For couples counseling, include each partner’s location.

Can I see you specifically for EMDR?

Yes. You can seek EMDR here whether or not you identify as neurodivergent or geeky. Visit the EMDR Therapy page to learn more.
