The greatest privilege of our lives is to be seen, heard, and truly known by the ones we love. In the end, we are all we have. Whether it’s your partner or family member, when you feel disconnected from the one you love most, it can be extremely painful. My specialty is adult love and creating bonding experiences in couples and families. Helping people repair and reconnect after times of distress is my passion. I help couples heal their wounds from the past through emotional re-engagement and responsiveness. This allows them to move forward in a healthier way, so the past doesn’t keep sabotaging their present and future.

Are you wondering if Brainspotting or EMDR is a right fit for you? Maybe you struggle with shame based thoughts about yourself, feelings of embarrassment or self-consciousness, struggle with anxiety and overwhelm, and/or know there are painful life experiences in your past. All of this together can be so overwhelming, and I'm here to help. I help clients get to the root of what they are feeling, manage uncomfortable feelings in their body, increase skills in navigating relationships with others, and heal their trauma for lasting change through mind and body based therapies like EMDR, IFS, and Brainspotting.

We're all works in progress. I believe in your ability to progress toward a freer self. The clients who begin work with me aren't free--they are constrained in a number of ways: depression, anxiety, disordered eating, low self-esteem, fear of intimacy, or impulsive behaviors. I see my work with you as helping you find the way back to your true self, where feelings, thoughts, desires, and hopes are revealed and honored, instead of tyrannized and discounted, sometimes by your own self.

Hello and welcome! I believe we all have inherent worth and value, but our perception of our worth can be impacted by trauma, stress, and mental health concerns. Life is often challenging, but you don’t have to do it alone. I utilize attachment-focused, experiential, somatic, mindfulness, and other modalities to promote healing and realignment with our authentic selves. I specialize in helping people navigate trauma processing, substance use and addiction, eating disorders, codependency, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and family of origin concerns. I enjoy working with adults, teens, couples, and families.

Humans have the uncanny ability to tell ourselves stories that make us feel bad, stuck and unable to move forward. Somehow, it's easier for us to believe the worst version of what could be true than it is to see possibilities. In an attempt to belong, we may find ourselves shape-shifting to accommodate others- believing that someone other than who we are is the only way we can fit in. Over time, this can leave us with little certainty or confidence in our true, authentic voice.

Accepting new clients! One of the most beautiful things about being human is our ability to change. Yet, from observation (and personal experience!), I know how easy it is to feel stuck in destructive thoughts and behaviors. The good news is that you do not have to remain in a pit; it is possible to live a more hopeful, healthful, and whole life. As a counselor, I can equip you with tools for getting out of your head or out of the “funk.” We can work together to move through your pain and to restore hope for your future. I also have a background in matters of spirituality and am happy to integrate faith into sessions if desired.

I believe engaging in the psychotherapy process is a courageous step in your efforts toward growth and healing. I approach psychotherapy as a unique kind of learning process, facilitated by a collaborative therapeutic relationship and a safe, confidential environment. My role is to be a listener, facilitator, teacher and advocate. I believe vulnerability is the courageous opposite of weakness that can open a pathway to change. - More information is available on my website: https:/micheleburgner.com.

Instead of being taught how to cope skillfully with painful experiences and feelings, many of us are taught to numb, hide, or ignore them. This often intensifies the suffering, and also is often the only thing we know. I provide a safe space where clients can express, process, and learn about their thoughts, feelings, and emotions without judgment. I help clients to develop more workable coping skills and habits so that they can move toward their goals and live in alignment with identified values. If "being positive" hasn't worked for you, you may be in the right place.

My treatment philosophy centers on understanding addiction within the framework of relational patterns. I recognize that addiction often stems from deeper emotional wounds and dysfunctional relational dynamics.

My private practice is different than most therapy practices. First, my personal practice is small. My role as President of The Briggs Institute, Inc. allows me to limit my caseload size. This assures that my clients receive the attention they deserve. Second, my experience in academia places me at the forefront of the field of marriage and family therapy. This means that my practice is informed by scientific research that most private practice therapists can't easily access.

Are you struggling against an internal voice that says you aren’t good enough or worthy of love and acceptance for who you are? You may have heard this voice from others in your home, school, or on TV growing up, which turned this voice into beliefs that leave parts of you feeling unseen, unheard, and unloved. This is a common story for many people, however, it doesn't reflect the authentic nature of who you are. You are powerful, you are lovable, and you are worthy. In our time together, I will help you reconnect with your true Self by providing a safe, accepting, and judgment-free environment.

One of my favorite song lyrics right now is from the Lumineers, "it is better to feel pain than nothing at all." My work with clients looks like providing them someone to walk through the pain with so that they can create room for the joy that will follow. I work with clients through the attachment and emotional lens to help them create love and relationship that feels safe again.
