About

Akinlana Burrowes is a mental health counselor and expressive arts therapist licensed to practice in both North Carolina and Massachusetts. Based in North Carolina, she brings seven years of clinical experience to her work.

She uses an integrative approach that combines traditional psychotherapy with expressive arts and other body-based therapies to address life’s challenges across a range of severity. This blend of approaches is applied thoughtfully to meet each client’s needs.

Burrowes has had success supporting people experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, particularly when trauma relates to systemic oppression. Her practice includes cross-cultural work both within the United States and overseas, employing interdisciplinary art forms such as music, dance/movement, visual art, drama, poetry, and traditional art forms.

For clients who find talking about difficult subjects challenging, she invites the arts to become another way to communicate. She aims to create a space where clients lead their own journey and can feel validated and empowered, and she looks forward to providing the support clients are worthy of.
