Hello, my name is Jessica Garbutt Burden, and I have been working as a licensed Clinical Social Worker for 9 Years and in the field for 16year. I choose the field of social work because of the strength based solution focused applroach, In undergradute school I focused on international studies incorporating polical science, philosphy, anthropology and spiritual studies at University of St, Thomas University and recived a BA ininternational studies with a focus on Latin America. I then began working with at-risk youth as a program director in Campfire USA's school-based program in partnership with the Police Actvity League and Sun Schools. It was through that work that i found my true calling was therapy focused on inclusion, incresing individuals streanth and processing trauma. During graduate school I interned for Morrison child and family services and Grout elementary school continueing my work with at risk youth. After graduate school I continued my work with Morrison and worked providing Crisis intervention and prevention, and intensive home-based therapy for families in crisis. I now specialize in mood disorders, PTSD and CPTSD.
I believe every person deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and genuine compassion. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, validated, and comfortable discussing your concerns. I have been a registered nurse since 1995 and have cared for patients in a wide variety of healthcare settings, including emergency medicine, intensive care, pediatrics, obstetrics, orthopedics, and surgery. After nearly two decades of bedside nursing, I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Graceland University and became a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. Later, I completed a second Master of Science in Nursing at Gonzaga University and became a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
Therapy works best when you don't have to leave part of yourself at the door. With more than 25 years working with individuals, couples, and families, I help people navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, and some of the passages that are hardest to put into words: infertility, pregnancy loss, maternal mental health, and the particular weight that women carry through seasons of life that rarely get enough support. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors, and my practice is open to people of all faith backgrounds as well as those without religious beliefs. Whatever you believe, you are welcome here.
I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who holds a master’s degree in nursing from Frontier Nursing University. As an independent practitioner I can diagnose and treat mental health conditions with full prescriptive authority and order diagnostic labs as appropriate. With nearly 15 years of nursing experience, my passion for patient and family-centered care has evolved from working the on the front lines as an ICU RN during the covid-19 pandemic to addressing the mental health crisis impacting all of our communities as a nurse practitioner.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from Portland State University. I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance use, and I bring experience from interdisciplinary behavioral health settings where care often intersects with complex life circumstances.
My approach is collaborative, direct, and rooted in the understanding that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Mental health is deeply shaped by culture, community, history, and systems of power. Part of my work is intentionally engaging in a decolonizing approach to therapy—honoring lived experience, questioning one-size-fits-all models of care, and creating space for clients to define healing on their own terms.
I integrate frameworks such as American Society of Addiction Medicine and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as supportive tools—not rigid rules—while drawing from motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and relational work that centers respect, autonomy, and real connection.
I offer a focused practice in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP), with careful attention to preparation, safety, and integration. This work is not just about the experience itself, but about making meaning of it in ways that align with your values, identity, and community.
