Emily Burden

My path to becoming a therapist was driven by a deep need to help others untangle the complex challenges of their inner world to start building the life they deserve. From chronic anxiety to trauma, internalized shame to family estrangement, I understand how these complicated struggles intersect and erode your sense of self and get in the way of your goals.

I’ve guided clients through these issues, focusing on rebuilding resilience, nurturing self-compassion, and learning new ways to cope and thrive. With a blend of education and lived experience, I offer personalized care tailored to your unique needs.

I apply a trauma-informed, person-centered perspective while using effective evidence-based practices like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This allows us to develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals, with progress defined by the things that matter to you.

With flexible virtual or in-person sessions available during lunch hours and after work, we’ll make therapy & healing fit into your busy life, helping you progress on your own terms.

Therapy with me is about more than talking—starting at the initial intake interview, we’ll dig deep to uncover the roots of your distress. I work best with those who are ready to break out of old patterns and embrace new perspectives and strategies.

My aim is to help you overcome what's holding you back. You'll gain self-understanding and new skills to make and maintain real, lasting change.
