CARE FOR THE PERSON BEHIND THE ROLE
Online Therapy for Helping Professionals in Colorado
A space where you get to be supported.
When caring for others takes up much of your day, it can be difficult to make room for what you’re carrying. Burnout, grief, personal trauma, or relationship changes may leave you wanting support of your own.
I’m Adrienne Burns. I offer collaborative online therapy for therapists, healthcare professionals, first responders, yoga teachers, and others in helping roles. We can make space for your needs, both within and beyond your work.

Room to be human Support beyond your work Care at your pace
SPACE FOR YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE
You can understand the work and still need support.
You may be skilled at recognizing distress, navigating difficult conversations, or helping others find their footing. Turning toward your own needs can feel more complicated, especially when you’re used to being the steady one.
Here, we can make room for the parts of your life that need attention: the emotional weight of your work, a loss you haven’t had space to grieve, patterns in your relationships, or experiences from your own past. You can arrive with questions, mixed feelings, and things you haven’t figured out.
YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE YOURSELF HERE
When the work follows you home
We can explore how your work is affecting you and what you need, even if you’re still figuring out how to put it into words.
Difficulty switching off
You replay conversations or decisions after the day ends. Even when you have time to rest, part of you may still feel alert, responsible, or pulled toward what needs to happen next.
Feeling depleted
You get through your workday, then find little energy left for relationships, interests, or everyday tasks. You may feel more irritable, disconnected, or stretched thin than you’d like.
Carrying others’ experiences
Stories, losses, or difficult events from your work may stay with you. You might notice them showing up in your thoughts or in how you relate to the people and world around you.

Why supporting helpers matters to me
I’ve experienced burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma while also navigating losses in my own life. There was a time when I questioned whether I wanted to stay in the mental health field. Reaching out for support felt vulnerable.
Working with a therapist who welcomed therapist clients gave me a place to take the therapist hat off. I could make room for my own experiences without needing to have the answers.
That experience is part of why this work matters to me. I want therapy to make room for your whole life: your relationships, grief, history, hopes, and the person you are beyond your work.
Conversation and reflection
We can explore relationships, boundaries, professional identity, and the demands of your work. There’s room to consider both changes within your control and pressures in the environments around you.
EMDR therapy
When appropriate, EMDR therapy can be part of our work with distressing experiences and the emotions, beliefs, and body sensations connected with them. We take time for preparation before memory processing.
Optional trauma-sensitive movement
Through optional Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), you can explore noticing sensations and making choices about movement. We can discuss whether a body-based approach interests you and how it might fit into our sessions.
Questions about getting started
-
No, I welcome therapists, counselors, social workers, healthcare professionals, first responders, yoga teachers, and others whose work involves caring for people. During a consultation, we can talk about your experiences and what you’re looking for to explore whether working together feels like a good fit.

No, you may want support with burnout, compassion fatigue, or the experiences you carry from your work. You may also be navigating grief, personal trauma, relationship difficulties, or a life transition. Our sessions can focus on whatever matters to you, and you don’t need to wait until you feel overwhelmed to reach out.
-
Therapy focuses on your personal experiences, emotions, relationships, and goals. Supervision and professional consultation focus on your clinical work and professional development. Although we may explore how your work affects you, these therapy sessions are a space for your own care and do not replace clinical supervision.
-
Yes, I provide online individual therapy for adults throughout Colorado through a secure telehealth platform. You’ll need a reliable internet connection and a private space where you can speak comfortably. You must be physically located in Colorado when we meet.
-
Individual therapy sessions are $180 for 50 minutes or $270 for 80 minutes. My practice is private pay, and I do not bill insurance directly. I can provide a superbill upon request for you to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Eligibility and reimbursement depend on your insurance plan.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can discuss what you’re looking for, answer initial questions, and explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
