Marva Burks

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with many years of experience working with people from all ages and walks of life. I want to work with you to help you get the most out of your mental healthcare experience.

My approach in therapy is working with clients to empower them to use the skills that I teach them to handle life better than they could in the past. I like to use Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Person Centered therapy for best success and long lasting positive changes.

What can clients expect from their first session with you?

The first counseling session—or intake session—is about laying a foundation, building comfort, and establishing a collaborative roadmap in a structured, non-judgmental space. It is broken into a few key areas:

1. A Safe Environment

2. Clarifying Logistics and Boundaries

3. Exploring the "Why Now?"

4. Meeting You Where You Are

5. Collaborative Goal Setting
