Evelyn Burns, FNP, PMHNP

Hello, I’m Evelyn Burns, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner deeply committed to providing compassionate and transformative mental health care. My mission is to create a warm and supportive virtual environment where you can feel safe to explore your challenges. Together, we will work to cultivate resilience and embrace the positive changes that can lead to a more fulfilling life. While I welcome clients of all ages, my primary focus is on children, adolescents, and young adults between the ages of 7 and 24. I specialize in helping those who are navigating complex issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, and various behavioral challenges. I understand how these struggles can impact daily life, relationships, and overall well-being, and I am here to support you through them. My Approach to Therapy Over the course of my career as a dual-certified nurse practitioner, I have had the honor of collaborating with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including children and adolescents facing a wide array of mental and physical health needs. My holistic approach to therapy integrates both medication management and evidence-based psychotherapy techniques. This comprehensive care model allows us to address not only symptoms but also the underlying factors contributing to your mental health challenges. Additionally, I prioritize individualized care that respects your unique experiences and perspectives. By taking the time to understand your specific needs and goals, I strive to foster a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect. What You Can Expect from Our First Session During our first session, you can expect an open and welcoming atmosphere where I will invite you to share your story in your own words. I will ask thoughtful questions to gain insight into your experiences and understand what you hope to accomplish through our work together. This initial conversation is not just about information gathering; it is a chance for us to connect on a personal level. I believe that establishing a solid foundation of trust is essential for our collaborative journey. Together, we will identify your goals for therapy and discuss any specific challenges you are facing. I am here to guide and support you, ensuring that you feel heard and valued every step of the way. I look forward to the opportunity to walk alongside you on this path toward healing, growth, and empowerment.
