Jared Burkett-Edskerud, Licensed Professional Counselor Associate

As someone who has experienced personal trauma and posttraumatic stress (PTSD), I know how much that can affect every aspect of a person's life, and the challenges it can create as you work toward becoming the healthiest version of yourself. Hi, my name is Jared, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with an M.S. in Counseling. I work with adults ages 18–63 who are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, relationship wounds, identity development, and emotional pain. I also support LGBTQIA+ clients exploring identity, shame, religious trauma, self-acceptance, and rejection. My background includes partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP) work with complex trauma, substance use, personality challenges, and major life transitions. I'm passionate about helping people move out of survival mode and toward healing, growth, and lasting change.

My approach is compassionate, direct, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and attachment-based work to help clients process trauma, regulate emotions, improve relationships, and break painful patterns. I also believe humor, authenticity, and joy are important parts of healing. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate things alone. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported while working toward healing, growth, and lasting change. If you feel we may be a good fit, I’d be honored to work with you.
