Theoretical Orientation
Mr. Burton believes that every client is an individual and that understanding their perspectives and tapping into their natural strengths, tools, and motivation is the most optimal way to promote healthy change and help individuals achieve their life goals. His vision is to help clients identify what their life goals are and what methods will be beneficial in achieving those goals. He believes in the eclectic approach including systems such as cognitive-behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, solution-focused, strengths-based, person centered and family centered. He believes all therapeutic approaches have value and may be beneficial in helping clients achieve their Individual Service Plan Objectives and Goals. He particularly enjoys assisting his clients in improving family systems and relationships both through the Individual and the family. He has found a niche with Substance Use Family Groups as he believes healing the family system may help to promote long term abstinence. He believes that self-care, mindfulness, humor & connections are essential to healthy living.
