Ginger Burleson, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ginger!

I am passionate about guiding, empowering, and supporting you on your journey to make the changes you desire in your life.

My focus

I work with individuals addressing substance use issues, healing from trauma, and parenting needs. I also have extensive experience with adolescents and military families. Issues addressed in therapy typically include depression, anxiety, relational issues, trauma, and addiction.

My approach

I believe treatment should be specifically tailored to meet your individual needs. I utilize a trauma-informed, integrative approach rooted in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Processing Therapy to help you make meaningful change.

My communication style

My goal is to create a relationship rooted in trust and safety. My communication style is warm, compassionate, and supportive. When appropriate, I can be direct and will challenge you, as I am here to assist you with creating the change you desire.

My journey to mental healthcare

My coursework focused on child and family systems, and I have worked with diverse populations in inpatient, outpatient, residential, and private practice settings. I enjoy helping others throughout their journey to live a fulfilling and meaningful life.

My goals for you

I am passionate about helping others and committed to helping each client meet their treatment goals. My approach to goal setting is collaborative, realistic, and designed to meet you where you are on your healing journey.

Our first session

During our first session, you can expect to explore what brought you to therapy and your desired treatment goals. I will work with you to establish a relationship rooted in trust, as this is vital for beginning to work towards change. You can anticipate leaving with a renewed sense of hope.
