Liam Burns, LMSW, is a dedicated therapist serving clients throughout Michigan with a compassionate and individualized approach to care. He focuses on helping individuals navigate their personal stories by using a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic approaches. Liam believes that no two people have the same journey, and his goal is to equip each client with tools that are specifically tailored to their unique needs. Liam serves adults and seniors, offering support to those navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions, as well as working with individuals seeking gender-affirmative care. Liam is particularly passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ community and those experiencing grief and later-life transitions. He understands the complexities of identity and strives to provide a safe, affirming space where clients can explore their most authentic selves. For individuals within the LGBTQ+ community, as well as seniors going through later life transitions, Liam is committed to providing compassionate, affirming care. He also works closely with military veterans and first responders, offering specialized support for the unique challenges faced by these populations. In his practice, Liam offers individual and couples therapy, drawing on evidence-based techniques such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and CBT. His approach helps clients build resilience, manage mood disorders, and strengthen relationships. Whether working through issues related to anxiety, depression, or life transitions, Liam is dedicated to helping his clients achieve lasting change and a greater sense of well-being. Outside of his practice, Liam enjoys spending time with family and friends, especially during movie award season, as he’s a big fan of Oscar-nominated films. He also loves golfing, watching football and hockey, and working on landscaping projects with his beloved dog, Howie.
