Meet Kia Burton
I’m Kia Burton, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, ACSW). For over a decade, I’ve supported people through grief, co-occurring challenges, and big life transitions. My approach is warm, practical, and focused on helping you transition from hard to safe times. Together, we’ll build coping skills that work in real life and create space for healing without pity or judgment.
My Therapeutic Philosophy
Safe & Supportive Space
I provide a safe, supportive space for you to be heard without judgment, where we can work together to build coping skills and foster emotional healing.
Evidence-Based & Personalized Care
Using evidence-based methods like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, I tailor therapy to your unique needs to support lasting, positive change.
Empowerment & Resilience
My goal is to empower you to face challenges, create meaningful change that aligns with your values, and build the resilience needed for a more balanced life.
Experience & Expertise
My work is rooted in compassion, understanding, and practical support. I help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, or substance use find steadiness, clarity, and lasting peace. In our work together, you’ll find a space where you can speak openly, feel heard without judgment, and begin moving toward balance and healing.
With more than twelve years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I now practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), offering a safe, supportive space to heal and grow. My approach blends evidence-based care with genuine connection, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed practices to guide you toward meaningful, lasting change.
In each session, we’ll set clear goals, build coping skills that fit your real-life experiences, and work together in a practical, collaborative way. I understand that reaching out for help can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll create a path forward — one that helps you move from hard to safe times.
