Kitten Burch

Kitten Burch

Therapist

Virtual • Missouri


If you're carrying trauma, living with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or OCD, or just need someone to help you stay accountable, I could be your person. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri, and I recently started a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. I have lived experience with many things, so I understand trauma, and I'm open about my own mental health to help end the stigma around talking about it. In my wheelhouse is working with individuals, families, and children ages 6 and up. A little about me: yes, my name is really Kitten. I'm a mom to a daughter on the autism spectrum and to three dachshunds with larger-than-life personalities.
