My name is Joseph Burton, LCSW. I am a trauma-informed and culturally responsive therapist who specializes in supporting individuals living with blindness, low vision, and other disabilities. I understand that adjusting to changes in vision, identity, and independence can bring up complex emotions—grief, anxiety, frustration, or feeling misunderstood or isolated. You deserve a space where your lived experience is honored, and where healing can happen at your pace.
Therapy with me is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real-life application. I use evidence-based approaches including:
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
• Behavior Modification
• Family Systems & Structural Approaches
We move at your pace — balancing emotional processing with skill-building to support empowerment, self-advocacy, and personal growth.
Your culture, your identity, your community, and your story matter. I am deeply grounded in cultural humility and believe healing is most powerful when it reflects your reality — not a one-size-fits-all model.
