Elysia Burgess LPC

I've gained experience counseling children, teens, and adults in a variety of settings including private practice, and mental health facilities. Within these settings, I’ve enjoyed working with children, teens, and adults to help them navigate through issues arising from trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, behavioral problems, and self-esteem.

Theoretical approaches that I adhere to are based on a Cognitive Behavioral Approach – a short-term, goal-oriented, treatment that teaches individuals how to identify and change destructive or disturbing patterns of thinking. This approach helps clients understand the effect of negative behaviors and their way of thinking. Those situations that are affecting you emotionally, are also affecting the connection between your mind, body, and spirit. We will identify what supports you and what challenges you over multiple areas of your life. As a counselor, it is my goal to encourage consistency, balance, support, and stability within the clients’ psyche. Other theoretical approaches include Solution-Focused Brief Therapy – which is focused on solutions as opposed to the problems.
