Our therapists provide couples & marriage counseling in Brookline, MA

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and an Organizational Psychologist with 24 years of experience in the field. I completed my master’s degree in Counseling at Valparaiso University and my doctorate in Organizational Psychology (PhD) at Walden University. In addition to my counseling practice, I am also an adjunct professor in a health studies department, where I teach courses in holistic medicine, human sexuality, stress management, and statistics. While I offer counseling and talk therapy services, I do not currently offer psychological testing.

I began my counseling career in 1995 with the Aliveness Project in Gary, Indiana, where I worked with the LGBTQ+ community, providing outreach and prevention services. I also helped Spanish-speaking communities in Chicago before deciding to return to graduate school after questioning my abilities at the time.

I agree with Freud’s belief that everyone should be able to love and work. We should love our work and understand love. When a person experiences an imbalance in either of these areas, stress can arise. Over time, prolonged stress can lead to symptoms of anxiety and depression. My goal is to help individuals find balance in these areas to foster a good life.

Evelyn Burdick is a resident in counseling, seeking her LMHC. She enjoys working with individuals of all ages to meet their counseling goals and assist them as they move through difficult life adjustments and navigate complex emotions and experiences.

Evelyn completed her Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling at the State University of New York at Oswego. Evelyn primarily operates from a strong person-centered foundation, but utilizes other approaches and techniques as well including those rooted in narrative therapy, and Gestalt, Adlerian, and feminist theories.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 15 years of experience, and I am also an advanced doctoral candidate in psychoanalysis. Over the years, I have worked with adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and personality difficulties. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by old patterns. I provide a safe and supportive space where you can reduce anxiety, sadness, or self-doubt, strengthen relationships, set healthy boundaries, and begin meaningful healing.

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Boston Graduate School of Psychoanalysis and bring advanced doctoral training in psychoanalysis. My approach is depth-oriented and psychodynamic, with a focus on uncovering patterns, exploring meaning, and creating lasting change through insight, support, and compassionate care.

I invite you to take the courageous step toward therapy, whether you are seeking relief from pain, clarity in confusion, or stronger connections with yourself and others. Together, we can create space for growth, authenticity, and healing. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take the next step toward a more fulfilling life.
