My Story
My name is D.J. Burr, and I am a licensed mental health professional. My focus is on helping people heal from trauma, codependency, and sexual addiction. I provide both individual and group therapy for those struggling with compulsive behaviors, including sex and pornography addiction.
As a person in long-term recovery, I understand the complex nature of addiction and the joys of recovery, and my passion is to help you get to the place where you go from surviving to thriving.
With over 16 years of experience, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and trained in EMDR treatment. These specialized skills help my clients effectively process and heal from past trauma.

Group and Individual Counseling

Recovery is Possible
Compulsive behavior provides temporary numbing for lifelong pain. But when it wears off, you feel trapped. Recovery requires a change in beliefs and how you deal with life’s problems. It’s time to stop treating yourself so badly. I can help you learn to help yourself and become your own best advocate.
Addressing Trauma to Recover from Addiction
Trauma can play a significant role in compulsive behaviors. Traumatic experiences can profoundly impact well-being, and you may have turned to these behaviors to cope. In therapy, we will seek to disrupt this cycle by addressing the traumatic experiences that fuel problematic behaviors.
