Brittany Burke

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


I work with adults and young adults dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, low mood, high pressure, career changes, lack of motivation, emotional dysregulation, and major life transitions. If you feel stuck in negative thinking, unsure of your purpose, struggling with confidence, or having a hard time managing stress and boundaries, I help clients make sense of what is happening and start moving forward. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed by change and frustrated with how hard it has become to stay steady.

I connect with individuals facing challenges in emotional regulation, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and criminal justice involvement. Collaboratively we will set goals and learn skills to manage and/or reduce symptoms.

Christopher Bunn

Christopher Bunn

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Aurora, MO


I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported. With more than 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families facing a wide range of challenges. I earned my Master's Degree in Community Counseling from Pittsburg State University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Missouri Associate Alcohol Drug Counselor II.

Throughout my career, I have worked in juvenile and adult justice systems, drug courts, schools, and community behavioral health settings. These experiences have given me a broad understanding of the many factors that influence emotional well-being and personal growth. I work with concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, anger management, substance use, relationship challenges, and adolescent behavioral issues. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their concerns and building a healthier, more fulfilling life.
