Hold. Honor. Heal.

Even the deepest wounds

can become soil for something new.

Nick Burner, MDiv, MA, LPC,

EMDR Therapist

Maybe calm, connection, or hope have never felt familiar to you - not really.

Instead, your nervous system is always on alert, though you’re often not sure what for.

You might feel numb, foggy, or disconnected — even from yourself. Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too sensitive” or “too much.”

And perhaps in your relationships — maybe even in therapy — you’ve felt like you had to choose: either share the “facts” of your story and be acknowledged, or share the depth of your pain and feel alone and misunderstood.

You’re simply looking for someone who can hold both compassion for your past as well as curiosity for the healing that’s still possible.

You’re not broken.

And you’re not alone.

That’s the kind of space I offer.

Hi,

I’m Nick.

I specialize in working with

people who’ve had to survive a lot

— physically, emotionally,

relationally, spiritually —

often from a very young age.

My Approach:

I use EMDR, IFS-informed therapy, and other trauma-informed, experiential therapies to support:

  • people recovering from relational, sexual, and spiritual abuse and trauma

  • couples navigating the impact of trauma and addiction on their relationship

  • teens and adults facing panic, anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors

I am passionate about this work because I’ve met many people whose profound pain was unrecognized, misdiagnosed, or treated superficially — not because they were beyond help, but because they hadn’t yet found care that spoke their language and met them where they were at.

That’s why my approach is trauma-responsive and client-driven — sensitive to the unique ways the effects of trauma show up in your mind and body, and empowering deep work at a pace that feels meaningful and manageable for you.

If you are looking to go beyond symptom management, to engage in deep, focused exploration, and to experience real and lasting healing, we may be a good fit.

  • Although I am licensed and equipped to diagnose and treat a broad range of mental health issues, I have particular interest and experience in working with:

    • Trauma/PTSD/distressing life events 

    • Complex trauma (CPTSD), also known as developmental trauma

    • Dissociation and dissociative identity response

    • Panic

    • Anxiety

    • Depression

    • Behavioral addictions

    • Shame & self-worth

    • Relationship issues

    • Men’s postpartum mental health symptoms

    • Support for men after infertility, pregnancy loss

    • Grief & loss

    • Life transitions

    • Identity issues

    • Spirituality

If you choose to work with me,

here’s my commitment:

I won’t “do therapy”

to you or for you.

Instead, I aim to share the experience

together-with you,

a collaborative

process where we:

Hold.

We’ll take a close and compassionate look at the symptoms and relational patterns that keep resurfacing — anxiety, dissociation, shame, self-blame, or the sense that you’re always bracing for something.

Honor.

We’ll bring respect and appreciation for the brilliance of how you adapted to survive, and work together to gently update your nervous system’s sense of safety using various trauma-informed therapy methods that resonate with you.

Heal.

In time, you’ll find yourself responding to life less out of a survival mentality, and more from a place of grounded connection — with others, and with the parts of yourself that have waited so long to be cared for.
