Kia Burton

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and hold the Academy of Certified Social Workers (ACSW) credential. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from West Chester University and bring over a decade of experience in behavioral health. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, substance use disorders, grief, crisis, and major life transitions. My background includes inpatient, outpatient, and community-based care in hospitals, correctional facilities, and child welfare systems.

My approach is warm, honest, and collaborative. I use trauma-informed, evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. I honor each client’s lived experience, culture, and strengths. Clients often say they feel seen, supported, and empowered in our work together

My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and culturally responsive. I believe therapy should be a collaborative process where you feel safe, respected, and empowered. I integrate evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness to help you build insight, develop coping strategies, and create lasting change. I show up with warmth and honesty, and I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, goals, and lived experiences.

Clients can expect to walk away with greater self-awareness, practical coping tools, and a deeper sense of clarity and control over their lives. Together, we’ll work on identifying patterns, building emotional resilience, and making intentional choices that align with your values and goals. I aim to create a space where you feel heard, validated, and empowered to move forward—whether that means healing from the past or navigating what’s next.
