About

Greetings! I truly believe that greatness is a choice so let’s choose to be great together. My name is Monica Burge and I want you to embrace the possibilities of evolving into the amazing individual you are meant to be. I am passionate about the work of therapy and being intentional about the process of realizing the best version of yourself every day. My goal is to partner with you in finding the most useful tools to help you figure out what path leads you to finding your joy. Every journey is different and I believe you have the ability to define for yourself what fulfillment looks like.

Education & Licensure
"M.S. in Counselor Education with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville State University: Certified DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy); Certified Anger Management Specialist; Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Specialist "
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

My motivation stems from a desire to help others navigate life challenges that can often derail us from the path of enlightenment and leave us stuck in the discomfort that trauma, unhealthy coping mechanisms and unhealed wounds. I am especially compassionate about individuals who do not fit neatly into any box society defines. Together we can work towards a life where you give yourself permission to be all that you could possibly imagine. I have extensive knowledge and experience regarding the human condition and look forward to exploring with you a new beginning.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I prioritize gratitude, self care, affirmations, humor and autonomy in identifying the optimal skills to walk in and celebrate living authenticity and unapologetically through empirically based interventions that encourage out-of-the-box thinking for me and you. It has been my experience that anger, trauma, and feeling disconnected and misunderstood are underlying motivators that compounds anyone’s mental health. Learning to heal is hard, but worth it. Trust the process.
