Thanks for landing on my page! I’m Dr. Burwell, and I want to help you find your voice. Your voice is all you have. Are you struggling to cope with life? You're not alone. We're all struggling in an uncertain world. Life is messy, but I can help you clean it up. Psychotherapy improves emotional wellness, relationships, and connectivity to your higher power. I believe in holistic wellness and treating the whole person. My specialties include eating disorders, bipolar disorder, depression/anxiety, trauma/PTSD, highly sensitive people (HSP) & empaths. I also believe in the healing power of animal-assisted therapy and offer documentation for those in need of emotional support animals. I use a variety of therapeutic techniques and interventions to help you meet your goals. Treatment is packaged with mindful compassion, thoughtfulness, and intentionality. I'm excited to become part of your journey!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Gear up! You’re on the journey of a lifetime! You’re in the driver's seat, and I’m your GPS guiding you along the way. We'll work to establish a powerful dynamic that is also a safe space where you can show up as your whole self. I’m committed and deeply invested in the therapeutic process, and you’ll need to be committed as well. Unlike some therapists who only think about you in session, and treat you as just another client in their caseload, I'm very engaged with clients in and outside of sessions, as life happens outside of the therapy room. During our work together, we’ll meet weekly, and I’ll utilize time in between sessions to provide you with resources or challenges to help move you toward your goals. Our sessions will be 60 minutes and sessions are informed by your treatment goals. I allow for open processing while also infusing structure in the process to measure and/or adjust treatment. You’ll receive workbooks, video clips, books, and visuals to explain concepts and supplement the great work we’re doing in session together. I’m flexible and willing to customize your treatment so that it serves you. Our sessions will be a hybrid of processing and skill-building. We’ll talk through underlying issues contributing to why you may feel stuck, shamed, or sad. Client’s often ask me to explain why they behave a certain way. What a great question! I’ll use metaphors, energy, and evidence-based modalities to help you connect those dots. This will help make sense of childhood experiences and how they manifest into adulthood.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I have an eclectic approach and believe in meeting you where you are. We'll talk about what may work best for you. Treatment approches include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, Jungian therapy, and trauma informed work. However, treatment methods are customizable based on your particular concern.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My work is my ministry, and I like to think of it as soul surgery. My clients aren’t just names on a caseload, but souls I’m entrusted to help heal. As a therapist, I pride myself on being authentic, approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your treatment. Additionally, I believe in meeting you where you are and cultivating an inclusive, affirming, and inviting therapeutic environment. It’s time for you to take the next step by showing up for yourself. You have the courage to take your own journey. You don’t have to walk alone. Schedule your appointment today and let’s begin your journey of a lifetime!
