Amy Burke LPC

Licensed Outpatient Therapist

I was originally drawn to the field of counseling as a career, because I have witnessed many times the devastating effect that mental health struggles can have on individuals and their loved ones. From a young age, I knew that somehow I wanted to help others to improve their mental and emotional wellbeing. Once I found the field of counseling, it felt like a calling, and I never looked back. 

I graduated from Spring Hill College with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and the University of Montevallo with a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I began my career working with domestic violence and sexual assault survivors and have developed a passion for working with survivors of trauma. I then transitioned into private practice and have worked with children, adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem problems, suicidal thoughts, grief, self-harm, relationship issues, and life transitions. I believe in tailoring treatment to the unique needs of each client by using a variety of approaches. 

I am passionate about the process of counseling and helping my clients heal, grow and make positive and lasting changes. My goal in therapy is to create a safe space where my clients can work through the difficulties in life without judgement. I also believe in teaching tangible skills and exercises that allow clients to continue their growth outside of our sessions. I hope you will reach out so I can answer your questions, ease your fears, and help you determine if I am the right fit for you.
