Hello, I'm Dr. Ellinor Burke and I'm a psychologist licensed in the state of Georgia. I've been in practice for more than 20 years and I've struggled with some of the same issues many of you do. I have developed effective treatments for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder because I have dealt with this disorder myself. If you're looking for an effective treatment I have one. Many of us are worriers and have anxiety related to this. Anxiety can have a draining effect on your life but it is treatable. .I use cognitive and behavioral therapy combined with supportive therapy to help you get to that positive place in your life. If you're dealing with depression I'm also here to help by looking at how your thoughts feelings and behaviors influence each other and how we can work together to deal with these issues. I see patients with varying issues and from many age groups. All in all a diverse population. I was a school psychologist for more than ten years and I do educational assessments as well as therapy for adolescents. I find teenagers are some of the most challenging and rewarding to work with. My work is very emotionally rewarding which is why I've been in practice for so many years. I'm now considering expanding my practice to a hybrid practice which will include seeing clients both remotely and in my office. Therapy begins with me getting to know you and for you to feel comfortable with me. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment because therapy works when we have a positive connection which I hope we will have.

Like you, my clients have been through agonizing stuff that happens in movies like: -Being raped by their own parents, having it swept under the rug, and being labeled the black sheep of the family; -Being treated like crap, bullied by their family, and left to fend for themselves; -Being cheated on and learning years later the child they've raised isn't theirs; -Witnessing the suicide, homicide, or brutal abuse of their loved ones while hiding and holding their breath under the bed or in the closet; and -Being denied opportunities and otherwise mistreated because of their racial or sexual identity. Experiencing emotional injuries like these can leave you with a deeply felt sense of I am not safe, I do not matter, and I am not good enough. You can know logically that these things aren't true; yet, your body still feels them. When things occur that trigger and reinforce these thoughts, you might find your heart pounding, hands sweating, or legs trembling. You might even have trouble breathing, have chest pain, or feel like you're going to puke. You may constantly feel like you and your kids are unsafe and may take extra precautions, some of which others think are overkill. As a result, you might react in any number of ways such as: -Spazzing out to keep yourself safe; -Withdrawing from others and the things you enjoy because no one gets you and it feels safer that way; -Minimizing your needs and not speaking up so that others are pleased with you and keep you around; or -Working excessively and tiring yourself completely out to prove you're worthy and you belong. These responses were learned as a means of keeping you safe, whether physically or emotionally. And they served their purpose. Now, it's time for you to heal and learn new skills to live your best life! My clients often come to me at their wits' end. Listen, I've been there and I get it! After working with me, like them, you will learn how to center your needs, connect with your loved ones in a healthy way, and show up in the world authentically and unapologetically, without the need to code switch. If you're ready to get off that hamster wheel of people-pleasing, perfecting, and performing, book your appointment today!

I utilize a variety of clinical approaches that are targeted to clients' needs including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), playful activities, client-centered approaches, mindfulness-based methods, family therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). My approach to therapy is rooted in authenticity and my goal is to assist each client to ensure they can achieve success, in their mental health recovery. I believe with support, perseverance, and a positive mindset, change is possible which creates the ability to overcome life’s challenges.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, I join in collaboration and congruency with my clients demonstrating warmth, empathy, and genuineness--fundamental to the development of a therapeutic relationship. CBT is designed to bring in balance with use of tools and resources based on functioning of the person. My personal philosophy of life for counseling is that 'serene tranquility' coupled with 'bringing in balance' is cornerstone to the rejuvenation of Hope. It is the road to recovery; for restoration of faith from doubt/grief/loss; for personal growth and development; for understanding self and functioning in relationships with others; and, with building self-confidence and -esteem geared towards recognizing inherent characteristic qualities of life: worth, value, and validation. CBT helps with understanding the functional roles of all emotions, both positive and negative, and their impact on behavioral responses. I believe that you are the expert and pilot of your own life; and, am here to assist you with navigating your life journey by providing a safe and caring space free of judgment as your life co-pilot. My approach is one of warmth, that is proven Results-Oriented.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience in counseling and direct case management. Most of my career has been spent with children and families in the midst of homelessness, foster care, and/or adoption, so I am no stranger to walking alongside others in their lowest valleys and on their highest mountains. I have also worked with many adults and couples as they navigate depression, grief and loss, anxiety, and relationship issues. With a background in psychology and a continued interest in the way that our brains impact our lives, I work with each unique client to untangle the white noise in their mind and achieve their goals.

Have you noticed that your child is acting differently– not as interested in school work, arguing more, changed her habits or friends, lost interest in hobbies, is more withdrawn? Have you tried to cheer your child up, cajoled her, or maybe you’ve taken away privileges, like the phone or computer time in an effort to correct behavior but nothing seems to work? If you’ve come to the end of your rope and want solutions, I can help. As a parent of two boys I have walked the winding, rocky, breathtaking path of parenthood. As a therapist, I have worked with a broad range of children, adolescents, and their parents to not only get through rough spots or trauma but to have it be the foundation of a stronger, more connected family relationship. Because this platform is based in providing telehealth virtually, and not in person, I have found it best to serve clients that are 10 years old (3rd grade) and older.
