Ava Mila Burstyn
MSW, M.Ed., RCSWI
I support children, teens, and adults in navigating anxiety, depression, grief, family conflict, relationship patterns, and other emotional challenges. If you’re feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by past experiences, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I support individuals in making sense of their emotions and experiences, while exploring how the past may still be shaping how they see themselves and the world. Whether you're struggling with trauma, relationship patterns, identity, self-esteem, or life transitions, I offer a warm and collaborative space where we can process what you're carrying, make sense of your story, and move toward the change you’re seeking.
Individual Psychotherapy
I specialize in psychodynamic therapy, which means I help clients explore how early relationships, life experiences, and unconscious patterns influence the way they think, feel, and relate in the present. Often, challenges like anxiety, self-doubt, or repeated relationship dynamics have deeper roots. While this insight-oriented work is my foundation, I also integrate tools from CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and other evidence-based approaches based on your unique needs and goals.
