Nadirah Burris
Hi my name is Nadirah, I have been a school counselor for the last 7 years and an LPC since 2016. Are you taking care of your mental health? Have you ever felt helpless, like nothing you do is fun anymore? What do you like to do? Do you have any goals or projects you are working towards? Sometimes we get so caught up in just surviving that we forget what it is to live and thrive. Why are we doing what it is, that we are doing and how do we step off of the treadmill long enough to enjoy the moment? Just thinking about it all makes you wonder about your short-term and long-term goals. As your counselor, I will work towards helping you answer some of these questions and build on creating realistic expectations. Counselors advocate for their clients to stay on track for finding goals and objectives that will result in positive outcomes. Take control of your life and lead yourself where you would like to be now and in the future.

I am currently an acute adolescent therapist and I have worked with adolescent ages 12 -17 years old and sometimes younger for the past 7 years providing individual, group and family therapy at a psychiatric facility. Before that I worked with patients of different ages including senior citizens. I have been practicing as a therapist in Oklahoma for the past 11 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is interactive, receptive and openminded. I was trained, mostly as a cognitive behavioral therapist; however, I am always willing and have used other evidence-based treatments to help my clients and give them the proper treatment they need. My personal philosophy is to treat everyone with the utmost respect. Being around different people from various cultures and background, I have learned to be sensitive and aware of other people’s needs. I aim to work as hard as I can, with all the tools and resources I can get to help my clients. I look forward to working with you!

So if I feel that I am not the best option for your presenting concerns, I will assist you in finding another provider. I do not allow for sessions to be scheduled if less than 24 hours in advance. For example, if you would like a session for 12pm CST Thursday, you will have to schedule the appointment before 12 pm CST WEDNESDAY. No exceptions. If clients have more than 2 no shows, they will be unable to schedule another session. Hope to hear from you soon!
