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?

Many people wonder whether virtual counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adapting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.

One key benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that feels most comfortable, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This makes it easier to integrate regular therapy into a busy life.

All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they prefer a different fit. Online therapy offers a practical, accessible option for people seeking support from qualified therapists without losing the therapeutic value of regular sessions.
