Adela Burak

I specialize in a trauma-informed, person-centered approach that helps teenagers and adults struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, grief/loss, identity issues, life transitions, self-esteem and relationships. IntegratIng narrative, existential, systemic, and emotionally-focused theories, I aim to customize each session to fit your needs and therapy goals. Every client is unique, and my process is designed to create a space where you feel comfortable, seen, and ready to do the healing you deserve. To show up as you are. You are the expert of the stories that make you; my role is to establish a climate of authenticity and curiosity necessary for healing. At your pace, we will explore creative ways of being and healing that align with authentic you. We will explore important areas of your past to discover and release beliefs and habits that no longer serve you. We will aim to build emotional resilience and come up with helpful coping (and thriving!) strategies that fit your values. I care deeply about taking a queer, trans, body, and sex positive-affirming approach to therapy. Paying special attention to systemic and multicultural perspectives, I am committed to honoring and validating individuals with various ethnic, racial, religious, spiritual, gender, and sexual identities. Navigating the challenges of life can be difficult and lonely. It would be an honor to walk alongside you and support you in that journey.
