I am an experiential therapist who uses various techniques depending on the needs of the client. The client is in charge of the direction of therapy. I never want to get in the way of what is supposed to happen in the room.

You may be the person everyone depends on—the one who keeps showing up, solving problems, and carrying responsibilities for your family, career, or community. From the outside, your life may look successful, but internally you feel exhausted, disconnected, anxious, or uncertain about who you are beyond what you do for others. Most men who find their way to my practice aren't in crisis. They're functioning — often at a high level — and that's exactly the problem. When you're performing well on the outside, nobody asks how you're actually doing. And after long enough, you stop asking yourself. I work with high-performing men who have spent years building lives that look right from the outside while something quieter erodes underneath. The perfectionism that never lets them rest. The self-worth that collapses the moment results slip. The anxiety that follows them into rooms they've earned the right to be in. The burnout that no amount of vacation seems to fix. My approach is grounded in Character Driven Therapy (CDT), an integrative framework I developed specifically for this population. CDT is built on a simple premise: lasting change for high-performing men requires working at the level of identity, not just symptom management. We don't just address the anxiety — we examine the architecture underneath it. Where your self-worth came from. Why it's tied to output. What it would mean to feel okay about yourself independent of results. In practice, CDT draws from psychodynamic and existential work to explore the deeper patterns shaping your sense of self, and from CBT, ACT, and Solution-Focused therapy to build concrete tools that create real change between sessions. The work is direct, engaged, and built for men who are wired to handle everything alone — and are ready to try something different. Before I was a therapist, I was a U.S. Marine. I know what it costs to project strength while something quieter is going on underneath. I didn't build this practice because it's a profitable niche. I built it because I understand these men from the inside — and because I've seen what becomes possible when they finally decide to do something about it.

I am here to help you with figuring out the best ways to overcome depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, PTSD, marriage or relationship difficulties. In our first session, I will take time to listen to your story, explore your goals for coming to counseling and the best ways to reach them. Once we have set the goals and identified the best therapy approaches to help you, we will focus on helping you with processing the past events and negative beliefs that are keeping you stuck, as well as building new skills to help you build the life you want. TRAUMAS AND PTSD If you are seeking therapy for post traumatic symptoms or PTSD as a result of childhood trauma, or recent traumatic events like car accidents, relationship breakups, workplace bullying, or emotional abuse in your marriage, I hope to provide a safe place for you to move from merely coping to truly healing by addressing the impact of trauma in a safe, supportive space. Using tools like EMDR and IFS, we will work to reprocess past traumatic events with the goal of gaining new insight, calming the nervous system, restoring a sense of safety and inner stability. ANXIETY If you are seeking counseling for anxiety, we will identify the mental loops that keep you stuck and develop skills like mindfulness, grounding, and cognitive restructuring to reduce anxious thoughts and physical symptoms of panic or worry. OCD If you struggle with OCD, I can help you understand the cycle of OCD, and learn to interrupt it using evidence-based techniques like Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) that can lead to increasing freedom from rigid patterns, obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and greater engagement with life in more meaningful way. DEPRESSION If you are seeking counseling for depression, we will use such tools as CBT, behavioral activation and values-based exploration to identify what is keeping you stuck and help you move toward renewed energy, emotional balance, and a sense of purpose. MARRIAGE COUNSELING AND RELATIONSHIP ISSUES If you are seeking marriage counseling, I will support you in rebuilding trust, improving communication and reconnecting emotionally. Whether you are navigating conflict, betrayal, or just feeling distant, I use the Gottman Method and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you create stronger, more fulfilling relationship. I have experience in helping couples that are going through the affair recovery. I also help individuals to improve their relationships by learning how to communicate better, how to have a secure attachment, and how to be best self in the relationships.

I am a somatic based psychotherapist and family therapist by training. I am a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist and a Certified Hakomi Therapist. Empowerment.

I am a client centered therapist and facilitate others on their journey to Self discovery, acceptance, compassion and Love within and without.

Happiness often seems reserved for others, while your efforts to move forward feel like they're only taking you backwards. Regret and difficult choices can leave you feeling trapped in hopelessness, as though you've explored every avenue yet remain lost. You're ready for change, but you're unsure where to begin. As a couples therapist trained in the Gottman Method, I specialize in helping couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships. I teach couples clear, effective communication and ensure they understand the profound impact of their words and actions. My approach is neutral, I'm here to support the relationship, holding both individuals accountable for their contributions and pushing them to make real, lasting changes. I take my work seriously, as you do your relationship, and I'm committed to guiding you both toward improvement via tangible, evidence-based, common-sense-driven techniques and skills. My clients often express their appreciation for my ability to be warm and transparent, and my willingness to challenge clients when appropriate. Whether you are a couple seeking to work through difficult times, an individual seeking to delve into your concerns, or someone just curious about therapy, feel free to email or message me if you have any questions.

If years of feeling on guard, disconnected from people who care about you, or unable to fully settle into your own life have started to make sense as something more than a personality trait, you are not imagining it. Earlier relational experiences, especially difficult or unpredictable ones, shape how the nervous system reads safety and connection long after the events themselves have passed. I am John Burns, MSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and an EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) Approved Consultant at Montgomery Counseling Group in Charlotte, North Carolina. My clinical focus is complex and developmental trauma. I work with adults who are ready to understand these patterns and build something different. In session, I draw on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems, and Ericksonian clinical hypnosis, each a different route into the same work: helping you access what has been protecting you and giving it room to soften. The EMDRIA Approved Consultant designation also qualifies me to provide formal consultation to other EMDR therapists. I offer in-person sessions in Charlotte and telehealth throughout North Carolina. If this sounds like where you are, I would be glad to talk with you.

Life is hard. It is incredibly exhausting when the relationships that matter most to you feel strained or broken.

And for teens, it means building resilience, self-esteem, and healthy coping skills in a way that actually resonates with them.
