Getting to know Daffaney Burnside

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with over 5 years of experience as a psychotherapist in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Aurora University. I have specialized experience in residential-based treatment, providing both long-term care and short-term crisis outpatient services. I have worked with clients facing a range of concerns and diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, abandonment issues, grief and loss, trauma, and mood disorders. As a child, I always wanted to pursue a career where I could support an individual's growth, creativity, and happiness. Early on, I learned about the struggles life can bring-not only through the inevitable but also through situational traumas we sometimes must face and endure. Being an active member of the clinical helping profession, I have come to deeply value patience, empathy, and peace. I believe that identifying and securing one's purpose in life creates the true masterpiece of one's story. My goal is to assist you on your journey to self-actualization. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I meet clients where they are, using therapeutic approaches tailored to their needs. I often incorporate client-centered therapy, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness techniques in my practice. Are you struggling with trauma, grief, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when help from a certified professional is needed to cope with life's challenges. I'm here to support you on your path toward healing and self-discovery.
