Akinlana Burrowes

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Expressive Arts Therapist in the states of Massachusetts and North Carolina. My vision is to support my clients using an integrative approach of both traditional psychotherapy alongside expressive arts and other body based therapies to address life’s challenges of varying degrees.

I’ve had great success supporting clients who have experienced anxiety, depression, and trauma specifically as it relates to systemic oppression.

I have served cross culturally both in the states as well as overseas with the interdisciplinary art forms of music, dance/movement, visual art, drama, poetry and traditional art forms.

Is talking through an issue challenging for you? Let the arts do the talking. Looking forward to creating a space for you to lead me through your life’s journey where you feel both validated and empowered.

I look forward to providing you with the support that you are worthy of!

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that fits their life, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to include therapy in a busy schedule.
