Dr. Kevin Burkart

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I am married, and we have three grown children and seven grandchildren, and a spoiled Texas Blue Heeler. I earned my Masters in Counseling Psychology from Ottawa University. I have experience working in inpatient, outpatient and with state agencies, where I have served

young children to older adults. While I have a passion in selective mental health areas, I have provided therapy for a variety of mental health diagnoses such as mood disorders, career changes, anxiety, ADHD, self-esteem, substance use issues, and OCD. In addition, I have also

worked with individuals on the ASD spectrum to modify behavior in order to enter employment and improve social behaviors.

My counseling approach involves developing a strong therapeutic alliance with empathy and accountability. I utilize Acceptance Commitment Therapy. Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR Therapy and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy. My approach in counseling is to identify thoughts, unhealthy

control mechanisms that create pain and suffering and push clients to effective actions that create a healthy and meaningful life. I also understand there is not a one fits all approach, and I am constantly utilizing eclectic approaches, to treat clients based on their individual

needs.

Let's be honest, therapy is a huge step to take and will bring about some level of discomfort. However, uncomfortable situations have the power to create change. If you are ready or considering taking this step, I am ecstatic to begin working with you!
