Elijah Burner
(He/Him/His)
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)
Therapy is for everyone. I welcome, affirm, and work with any and every identity, sexuality, culture and creed.
Therapy can be hard. It can be intimidating. It can be work. It can be anything a client needs it to be, because therapy is also adaptable. I welcome all of it, and I welcome anyone who’s in need of guidance, help, empowerment and empathy. While I may have extensive training and experience in the field of mental health, I will never have expertise in a life that is entirely your own. Rather, I am here to learn, shape, and adapt therapy to the needs of every individual. I am here to help in every capacity I can offer; therefore, I invite any and all looking for help, insight, and a willingness to work toward an improved well-being. Working from a person-centered approach that lends itself to a humanistic intentionality, I model my therapeutic efforts in the practices of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Nurture Play Structure (NPS), and all the skills, interventions, and framework that move between them.
