Lisa Burke

My communication style

I like to provide a welcoming space where people can be themselves. I practice with empathy and listen in a non-judgmental way. I also believe that open and honest communication is important in the therapeutic alliance.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to social work because of different life events. I always knew I wanted to work with people. I started incorporating mindfulness techniques when I saw firsthand how it reduces stress, and I wanted to teach these techniques to my clients. It is rewarding when I see clients gaining confidence, reducing stress, and finding peace.

My goals for you

I believe that therapy is a partnership. Together with my clients, we come up with goals that align with values and are achievable. I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and it is important to have a partnership when establishing treatment goals.

Our first session

During the first session, we will get to know each other. We will talk about what brings you to therapy and what you want to work on. We will also talk about any past history. It is completely normal to be nervous for the first appointment. We will have a conversation and try to make it as stress-free as possible.

I identify as...

• Female
