I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and nationally certified counselor (NCC). I received my Bachelor of Science in psychology from Charleston Southern University and my Master of Science in clinical mental health counseling, including a Graduate Certificate in Contemporary Theory in Mental Health Services, from Capella University. I have worked in the mental health field since 2013. I have worked with military/veterans, geriatrics, teens, children, LGBTQ community, PTSD, anxiety, grief, eating disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, schizophrenia, substance abuse, first-time mothers, job development, and anger management. 

I foster a client-centered CBT and DBT approach. I am certified in CBT for depression and suicide, DBT, CAMS-Care, ASIST, IPS, and anger management. I believe creating a safe and nonjudgmental space and building a genuine rapport is essential to aiding individuals in reaching personal goals. I base my services on the ACA Code of Ethics and state laws. 

I look forward to working with all potential clients and sending a warm welcome to each of you.

Jeff Burgdorfer is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience helping individuals and families. He specializes in anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief/loss, and men's issues. Jeff has spent the last 10 years working in many of the major treatment settings, providing therapy to clients in hospitals, residential rehab programs, and outpatient facilities. Through this work, he has cultivated and strengthened a unique skill set to help clients, using a person-centered approach to therapy.

Jeff's person-centered approach to therapy is rooted in the therapeutic relationship. When you meet Jeff, the focus will be on building trust, discussing what brought you to therapy, and why you decided to start now. These are important to Jeff's approach because your life & experiences are unique. For therapy to be effective, it can’t be one-size-fits-all.

Jeff is often asked about what contributes to client success in therapy. Although Jeff has learned a lot in his 10+ years as a therapist, his answer to this question has never changed: what matters most is how clients feel when they leave his office. It is truly the relationship that heals. He would love to meet you and discuss how he may be able to help.
