Kevin Burns
Hello, I’m Kevin. Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous act, and I am here to support you. With over 45 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in helping individuals navigate life’s challenges to live more authentic, joyful lives.
As your therapist, I will work with you to understand the challenges you face and to create a plan to move forward in your life's journey with joy and confidence.
I provide a safe, accepting environment where we can identify obstacles, address trauma, and develop meaningful strategies for healing and personal growth. I truly believe that everyone has the capacity for lasting happiness and fulfillment.
First session
In our first session, we will focus on getting to know one another in a comfortable, pressure-free environment. We will discuss your current challenges, explore your goals for therapy, and begin building a collaborative plan to help you move forward with confidence. This is your space to share your story at your own pace, and I will be there to listen and provide guidance.
Strengths
My approach is deeply relationship-focused, built on over four decades of clinical expertise. My greatest strength is my ability to create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard. By combining my extensive experience with a collaborative, creative problem-solving style, I help clients transform their personal challenges into opportunities for lasting, authentic change.
Ideal clients
Motivated, high functioning clients struggling with grief, loss, anxiety, depression, members of the LGBTQ+ community struggling with family issues, coming out, HIV, and intimacy issues.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I work with the client to create a supportive environment where individuals feel understood and accepted, allowing them to explore their feelings and thoughts in a non-judgmental setting. I work to hold a safe space for clients using unconditional positive regard, empathy and transparency.
Strength-Based
I work with clients to help them identify and utilize their strengths and resources to help them overcome challenges and achieve their goals. Rather than concentrating on weaknesses or problems, this therapeutic approach encourages individuals to recognize their own capabilities and potential for growth.
