I help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, PTSD/trauma, motivation & life adjustments. It's not uncommon to find ourselves stuck or overwhelmed. We've often learned to neglect ourselves, our needs, and feel unable to call upon others when we need help. Many of us battle with feelings of shame and speak to ourselves in a critical voice. I believe this often comes from a place of wounding from our past that drives us further away from our true, authentic self. When we can learn how to care for ourselves in the way we needed in the past, we can shift our beliefs of ourselves and who we are in relation to others.

My clients appreciate my "realness", warmth, engagement and curiosity. They struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, feeling lost, unloveable and broken, and being stuck in patterns they don't like. Many experienced childhood trauma that hurt their sense of self. Others come for support during life transitions and changes in relationship status, parenthood stages, moves, careers, and the loss of a loved one. I work with couples and adult family members who have a fear of conflict and tend to give up what they need in their relationships, and also those who fight easily and find conflict escalates quickly.

In this life there is always something that makes us change. Human nature says that it is love or the loss of something or someone. If you think you need help to achieve your goals or make the necessary changes to be successful, you have to give yourself a chance. During therapy you have the necessary space to talk about the different barriers that are a challenge for you. I work with different people who are going through different personal situations, having challenges with their families, or struggling in their marriage.

My clinical experience includes providing treatment for anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders.
Arriving at the place of wholeness oftentimes is a journey. That path has “detours” and “construction” blocks along the way. Some of us barrel through those and some of us turn around. Either direction leaves us in a place where we need healing. We all have the strength to conquer our adversities and I want to partner with you.

Because we live in a broken world, we all experience trauma on some level (even if it doesn't "look" like trauma). If trauma has taken root, it residually shows up in our relationships with ourselves and others, dictates our perceptions & behaviors, and can even trap us into our own self-sustained mental prison. The question is not "what's wrong with you?", but instead "what happened to you?" I would be honored to hear your story & provide a safe space for you to unpack with no judgement. I am well-versed in Narrative Therapy, taking the stance that you are the expert on yourself.

As a therapist, my approach to counseling is relational, collaborative, and hopeful. Regardless of the challenge that you are facing, I deeply believe that you already have in you everything you need to overcome it. Nothing is missing. You have what it takes. But sometimes there are obstacles standing in the way. My role as a therapist is to help remove the obstacles so that you can access the inner strength and ability that you already possess. It takes courage to say that something isn't working or that you want more or better from your life. It's my privilege as a therapist to join people as they do just that.

I believe engaging in the psychotherapy process is a courageous step in your efforts toward growth and healing. I approach psychotherapy as a unique kind of learning process, facilitated by a collaborative therapeutic relationship and a safe, confidential environment. My role is to be a listener, facilitator, teacher and advocate. I believe vulnerability is the courageous opposite of weakness that can open a pathway to change. - More information is available on my website: https:/micheleburgner.com.

Those navigating PTSD, substance use, identity concerns, depression, anxiety, or who feel stuck despite previous therapy may benefit from a focused, attuned, trauma-informed approach that allows us to gently access, process, and integrate parts of the psyche that can often go unseen or unprocessed.
Among other modalities, I often utilize Brainspotting, a dynamic neuroscience-informed, brain-body approach to therapy that shares similarities with EMDR. By identifying specific eye positions connected to stored emotional pain, we access where trauma is held in the nervous system and allow the body to process and release it in a grounded, contained way.

I want to offer people a way to live their lives effectively in the present. What does that mean? It means making wise decisions that help us feel a sense of congruence about the life we are living.
