Ivey Burton

My communication style

I provide a warm, compassionate space and use humor when appropriate in order to make you feel comfortable while processing sensitive thoughts and feelings.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have been interested in how the human mind works. I remain updated on the research and publications in the field of psychology, and network/consult with colleagues. I derive great satisfaction from sharing relevant information with clients and helping others so that they might minimize the suffering they experience.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively with clients and work with them to ensure their goals are consistent with their values. I seek to assist them with the tools they need to overcome their challenges and feel present and grounded in their daily lives.

Our first session

Discuss the reason for seeking therapy, past experiences in therapy, and relevant childhood experiences. I conduct an intake process to cover relevant childhood experiences, history of trauma, and drug/alcohol abuse, among other things. I talk to them about how I work and determine if the approach sounds interesting/helpful to him/her.
