About
With a genuine interest in people and a passion for helping clients lead authentic, fulfilling lives, Jennifer Burke stands out as an engaging Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Master Life Coach in Sarasota. Her therapeutic approach is built on the cornerstones of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and the practice of Radical Acceptance, creating a unique framework that brings individuals and couples to what she calls "the gift of their lives."
Burke's primary goal is to discover what is most important to her clients, delving into their goals, values, and sources of resilience. She focuses on helping clients navigate change, confront uncomfortable feelings, engage in difficult conversations, and set healthy boundaries with clarity, confidence, and kindness. This personalized approach allows her to encourage genuine growth and self-discovery in those she works with.
In her practice, Burke employs a collaborative process, utilizing a myriad of techniques throughout the therapeutic journey. She views her role as a distinct privilege, being invited into the innermost workings of her clients' lives, thoughts, and experiences. This perspective informs her empathetic and client-centered approach to therapy.
Burke's theory of change aligns closely with the foundations of DBT, emphasizing the importance of striking a balance between validation (acceptance) of who we are and what we feel, and the challenges and discomfort that come with the process of change. She believes this balance is crucial for clients to fully realize and embrace the benefits of therapy.
For those seeking a therapist who combines professional expertise with a warm, engaging approach, Jennifer Burke offers a path to self-discovery, enlightenment, growth, and balance. Her practice in Sarasota provides a supportive environment for individuals and couples looking to lead more genuine, authentic, and fulfilling lives.
