Hi, my name is Cathi Burks, due to my passion and love for people I made the decision to make a life change in 2011, which is when I started pursuing my dream of becoming a counselor.
Today I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri, living my dream working with others in the pursuit of a life filled with joy, peace and happiness. I have been working in the mental health field for over 5 years serving both adults and adolescents. I provide Counseling as well as Coaching and Consulting services, specializing in Anxiety, ADHD (childhood and adult), and Depression, as well as navigating those unexpected personal life challenges.
Regardless of the situation that has you feeling overwhelmed and in need of support, let me be this voice, "ITS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY". As humans we were all created to connect with each other and support each other and you do not have to walk this walk alone.
My goal is to meet you where you are, without judgement, and truly walk alongside you on your journey, as we work to overcome barriers that may be preventing you from reaching your optimum self-potential. I look forward to hearing from you and congratulations on taking the first step towards living your best life.
