Hi, I’m Nicole Elizabeth Burns!

My therapeutic approach centers on creating a safe,
welcoming environment where clients feel empowered to express themselves authentically. Within this supportive space, clients can explore and process experiences that may have previously felt difficult to access. I bring compassion, empathy, and unconditional positive regard to each session, fostering a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust and genuine connection.

As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, my mission is to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive space where children, families, and individuals who can explore their challenges, build resilience, and strengthen their emotional well-being.

I am committed to fostering healing through empathy, evidence-based practices, and culturally responsive care. Guided by compassion and curiosity. I strive to empower clients to develop healthy relationships, enhance self-awareness, and grow toward meaningful change. I have an extensive background in children and families. As well as specialize in chronic pain.

My work is grounded in compassion, understanding, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. In our time together, we’ll move at your pace, exploring what feels important to you while I offer guidance and support along the way. I specialize in working with family dynamics, trauma, and chronic pain, and I’m passionate
about helping clients build resilience and reconnect with their inner
strength.

I know that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming—and even a little scary. Whether you're navigating a tough chapter, feeling stuck, or just trying to make sense of your emotions, you're not alone.
