See what our patients are saying about Joelle Burkett

Joelle is an amazing human. She helped me through an extremely difficult transition in my life where I did not feel understood by anyone in my day to day life. Even myself some days. She held that space for me even when I was not listening to the own words of my mind. She helped me through the small victory and large, when I was always too critical and hard on myself. The moment that I “graduated” from her office this was a HUGE personal step that was more or less a leap that has changed my life for the better. I can confidently say I’m happy and healthy and Joelle is the best therapist I’ve ever had.

My first meeting was wonderful. Joelle Burkett is professional ,and yet very empathetic. I know it is her job to hang on every word, but she made me feel like I was talking to a friend. It’s true what they say about first impressions. Thank you so much for your care. I look forward to my next session.
