"I have been working with children, preteens, and adolescents for more than 20 years. I offer an holistic approach and strongly believe in the power of a trusting relationship to help children develop inner resources to guide them through difficult life experiences and transitions. I offer counseling services for a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, OCD, phobias, ADHD, ASD, grief/loss, gender and sexual identity, addiction, and other difficult life transitions. I have extensive experience facilitating social communication groups for children and offer parenting support and consultation. "

"Are you having a difficult time fitting the pieces of life together? Do you feel weighed down from work stressors? Do you ever wonder, "Is there more to life than this?" If so, you are visiting the right profile. I can help you address these issues and many more. I utilize approaches that are client-centered and collaborative. I do not believe in a "cookie-cutter" solution, therefore, therapeutic approaches will vary and be unique to each client and their situation."

"I have always found the more relational and emotionally based this work is then the more rewarding and successful it is for clients and myself. I work with a wide range of clients. Their basic desire is to connect with themselves and others. Of late, it seems, many of my clients are couples; men ; adolescents; and mid-life and elderly of both sexes. Each are addressing important problems and/or transitional stages of life. Our work can be fearful and/or fearless, exciting and/or slow and always the challenge of facing not-knowing, making choices and exploring ourselves."

"Sometimes, the stress of daily life can exhaust our ability to cope. A child struggling in school, family conflicts, traumatic events, major life transitions, the loss of a loved one, friend, or pet, financial and/or medical issues, pregnancy and the birth of a child—all of these experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed, helpless, and defeated. From experience and research, we know that stressful experiences--sudden or chronic--can lead to feelings of disconnection, sadness, anxiety, low self-esteem, and conflict within ourselves and with our friends and loved ones. If you or your child are struggling and you’ve decided to try therapy, I want to invite you to give me a call. I provide a welcoming, supportive place where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings, solve problems, connect more authentically with themselves and others, and heal from painful experiences. I’m passionate about helping children, families, and individuals to develop a greater sense of well-being. Through conversation, collaboration, creative exploration, and play, we can work through the “road blocks” that keep you or your child from living life more fully and joyfully."

"I practice transpersonal psychotherapy - which means I think you are more than the sum of your parts. I have conversations with people that help them make sense of their lives and move forward by getting out of their own way. Most recently, I have been incorporating a somatic approach in my work, as it is often a more immediate way to access what is happening for people at a deeper level."

"Do you know that something needs to change in your life? Does your heart or your stomach hurt when you think about your relationship or your job or just the direction your life is going? Are you feeling overwhelmed, tired, or stuck and don't know where to turn? I specialize in working with people like you who are in transition in their lives. Together we can use this moment as an opportunity. We can identify your strengths and build on them to spark change and get you moving forward again."

"Worry and anxiety are a normal part of learning and growing but can become powerful and restrictive, disrupting families in ways that lead to missed school, outbursts, conflict and often depression. If left untreated, children who worry excessively may become fearful, have difficulty falling asleep, separating from parents, participating in activities or simply attending in school. I believe there are strategies individuals can learn to manage anxiety and physical discomfort. My job is to help clients access their resources and disrupt the cycle of worry so they can live fuller, happier lives. My approach is collaborative, personalized and strength-based."

"I am dedicated to working with clients to face the challenges that life may bring with respect and compassion. I use my knowledge and training as a counseling psychologist to create a safe space for you to explore your challenges in the context of your strengths while taking the full complexity of who you are into consideration. I balance my traditional psychological and scientific training by grounding my work firmly within a sociocultural context. I utilize an integrative, strength-based approach informed by multicultural and feminist perspectives."

"Every person has many sides to their personality. Often these different sides are in conflict with one another and cause pain, anxiety and/or depression. When we find ourselves caught in repeated conflict in relationships, or we behave in ways that feel uncharacteristic, we often are in conflict with an aspect of ourself that is unknown or unconscious to us.The goal of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy is to help the unconscious self become conscious. When we begin to know ourselves better we can often make better choices and develop better tools to deal with the conflicts and stress that life brings us."

"My name is Keely Burke, and I'm a therapist and supervisor at Center for Creative Growth. I believe that each client relationship is unique, and I see my role as co-creating a healing space that assists you in living your most authentic, creative, and satisfying life. It is deeply inspiring and moving for me to assist you on your sacred journey of healing. In addition to individual, couples, family, teen, and child therapy, I have created a new, ongoing women's therapy group using the arts and experiential therapies that begins in May. See the "Groups" section below for more details."

"You may be suffering from inexplicable sadness or anxiety, or problems focusing. You might feel blocked in achieving your creative or work goals and want to figure out what is getting in your way. You might be having health problems and need help sorting out how what is truly out of your control or what might be stress related. I have specialized training in psychodynamic psychotherapy which allows me to listen with special attention to unconscious processes. I am also a graduate of the Psychoanalytic Couples Psychotherapy Group and help many couples navigate difficult patches in their relationships."

"Being whole, healed, and fulfilled comes from the work of integrating the body, mind, heart, and soul; this possibility is open to all people. Our work in psychotherapy is to serve the inner resources and wisdom held deep inside of you. Together we very gently bring awareness to the parts of yourself that are hidden due to fear, trauma or painful circumstances. Our work involves helping you unfold the beauty and dismantle the obstacles that are present in your life. As we work, you will begin to manifest your heartfelt longing to live fully--in your authentic self."

"We all want to be the person we were born to be. Being ourselves makes us happy. When we suffer from unhealed wounds from the past we don't feel safe in the world, comfortable with ourselves or others. We may try to overcome our shame and numb our pain in a variety of ways with drugs, alcohol, sex or even work to name a few. I offer a gentle, non-intrusive and compassionate safe space for you to discover who you are. Together we explore those issues which currently block you from finding greater freedom in you life and intimacy in your relationships."

"Are you looking for help in dealing with emotions, like anger, fear, sadness or overwhelm? Are you going through life transitions such as having a baby, the beginning or end of a relationship, a move, or a career change? In my 25 years of counseling, I have had the honor of working with clients seeking to improve their lives by understanding themselves better, learning new skills, and improving their relationships. I believe that everyone has the wisdom inside to know what is true and meaningful, yet it is not always easy to make progress on our own."

"I offer a compassionate, safe space in which you can begin to change negative patterns, heal early wounds, learn to support yourself with self-acceptance, and open to new possibilities."

"Are you having difficulty with depression, anxiety, parenting or a traumatic experience? I welcome you to work with me to create new thoughts, behaviors and solutions for a more calm and balanced state."

"Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process. I believe in trusting intuition when it comes to evaluating a match with a potential therapist. This is why I offer a free initial in-person consultation. In my experience, a positive and trusting connection is the basis for creating growth and change. I work with adults and adolescents over 14 on a variety of issues, including achieving greater mood stability, identity issues, improved relationships and sexuality and recovery from trauma. I have experience working effectively with people who identify as trans or genderqueer, and those with diverse lifestyles."

"If your child is experiencing tantrums or aggression, feels anxious, angry, or sad, has a low tolerance for frustration, or has poor relationships with other children or adults, I can help. I am a therapist specialized in working with young children and their families. I work with parents to help them understand their child's behavior and know how to respond during difficult parenting moments. I work with children to help them build social skills, understand and regulate their emotions, and overcome traumatic experiences (ex.death, illness) or difficult life transitions (ex. birth of a new sibling, divorce, school expulsion)."

"Feel flawed or different from others? Find yourself in unsatisfying relationships? Judge yourself harshly or fear criticism from others? Sacrifice your own needs to meet the needs of others? Ready to make changes? Plain and simple, I get results. In this 20-Week Group Program, I help you heal the painful legacies of growing up in a family where there was emotional, verbal, physical, or sexual abuse, neglect, abandonment, or addiction. Based on the internationally acclaimed work of John Bradshaw, this group helps you develop healthy, intimate relationships, restores your self-esteem, and frees your ability to create and achieve."

"I have been working for over 30 years helping a wide range of people create lasting, meaningful changes in their lives. My INDIVIDUAL THERAPY is personally tailored to each client. I use a solution focused approach for short-term issues and an in-depth model for longer term problems. In COUPLES THERAPY I work to create positive connections of closeness and depth, fostering intimacy and trust. In my DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, ABUSE AND ANGER THERAPY my goal is to establish abuse free relationships based on trust, cooperation and mutual support. Through my THERAPY FOR HABIT CHANGE unwanted problematic patterns are transformed."
