Let's Connect (919) 864-2918

My clients want to connect to others but are afraid. They've learned in childhood that those that are supposed to love you don't always treat you well. Yet, their deepest desires are to be seen, heard, and accepted. My clients often carry shame or guilt while also knowing deep down that they have immense strength and worth. They have the desire to move forward and live a fulfilled life, but feel stuck. Does any of this sound or feel familiar? Great news: it doesn't have to be this way! Reach out to me! Together, let’s explore a path forward—a healthy way forward—so that you can thrive. After all, you deserve to thrive.
I assist clients that have experienced all types of trauma: shock, developmental, relational & complex. I am committed to social justice and equality, and specialize in working closely with the LGBTQI+ community as well as survivors of emotional, psychological, sexual, religious, spiritual, and physical trauma. I offer a client-centered, relational approach.
You don't have to continue to suffer. There can be a different way of living. You can have healthy, loving relationships with other people and also with your Self. I invite you to check out my website: chrisburnerlcsw.com. You're one phone call or email away from taking charge of your healing. I would love to have you visit soon!
