Therapy To Feel Lighter
Whether you’re navigating new motherhood, anxiety, or a shift that's changed things, therapy with me offers a place to land.
Ivey Burton, PhD
When life feels unfamiliar, therapy can help you find your footing again.
People come to me when they don’t quite recognize themselves anymore. Anxiety, relationship struggles, or major life transitions have a way of pulling us away from the person we know ourselves to be. Together, we create a space to steady, reflect, and reconnect.
Therapy is about choosing growth, even though it's uncomfortable.
I work with people who are ready to step into change and learn new ways of responding to what’s hard. My goal is to help you build tools that bring presence, resilience, and freedom into everyday life.
My Specialties
-
Social situations can feel like constant tests – second-guessing every word, avoiding opportunities, or dreading being the center of attention too long. In therapy, I help clients quiet the inner critic, build confidence, and practice strategies that make connection feel possible and enjoyable again. Read More

“Therapy doesn’t remove the storms of life. It teaches you how to navigate through them.”
Dr. Ivey Burton
For more than three decades, I’ve helped people untangle challenges that once felt overwhelming.
My role is to help you feel both supported while you’re also challenged. It’s a balance that makes real evolution possible. My approach to therapy is active and collaborative- I don’t just sit back taking notes. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and share strategies that you can start practicing right away.
