Marina Burkhardt

To engage in therapy you only need to have the willingness to be open and honest, an act made easier when partnering with a skilled clinician to help guide you on your journey. As a Pennsylvania Licensed & Board Certified Professional Counselor with over 10 years of direct care mental health experience, my skill set enables me to work with a wide variety of individuals to address various mental health & social stressors including life transitions, mood disorders, grief/ loss, addiction and more.

I find that by having a therapeutic foundation rooted in Humanistic/ Existentialism and merging it with techniques seen in strength based, solution focused and Mind/ Body approaches, clients are able to walk away with a more positive experience after each session. However, with new approaches being found, I remain up to date on all major treatment modalities through continuing education and professional seminars, in order to always offer the most effective interventions.

I believe that treatment is something that happens with you and for you, not to you. As a result you are in the driver seat for your treatment because you are your own personal expert. I believe that by fostering a safe and open environment for self-exploration and development of tools that empower, everyone has the ability to meet their treatment goals. My long term goal is to put myself out of a job by helping you to achieve your full potential and becoming the best version of yourself.
