Dr. Michael Burrows
Psychology Associate | Postdoctoral Fellow
I’m here to help you cultivate a broader, kinder sense of self—one that moves through the world with greater agency and acceptance. In our sessions, you can bring every part of yourself. My job is to listen with curiosity, not judgment, as we navigate challenges and pursue growth together.
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.
Think of therapy as exploring with a trusted friend: we shine a light on the uncertain places, move at your pace, and discover what’s possible.
Michael Burrows, Ph.D. Therapist DCI stay excited about this work because every session is different. People are complex, and when we stay open and curious, there’s always something new to explore and learn. If you’re ready to examine how you show up in life and relationships, we’ll make a great team.
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.
