Dr. Michael Burrows
Psychology Associate | Postdoctoral Fellow
I help clients navigate the complex intersection of identity, relationships, and self-worth. My approach combines clinical warmth with rigorous evidence-based theory, helping you dismantle harsh self-criticism to build a life of greater agency and authenticity.
I chose psychology because nothing felt more meaningful than understanding people—including myself—and forging genuine, caring connections. Therapy should feel natural and alive, so I keep our conversations flexible and engaging rather than following a rigid script.
Therapy is more than just conversation; it is a deliberate process of uncovering the patterns that shape your reality. My role is to help you move from self-criticism to self-authorship.
Michael Burrows, Ph.D. Therapist DCAs an active researcher, I integrate current, peer-reviewed findings directly into our clinical work. I believe people are complex, and by staying at the forefront of the field, I ensure our work together is both evidence-based and adaptable to your unique needs.
Together, you’ll learn to quiet harsh self-criticism, handle stress with new tools, and build authentic and fulfilling relationships. When you’re ready to explore, grow, and live more fully as you, I’m here to guide the way.
