Getting to know Mari Burgess

Hi there, I'm Mari! Hello, my name is Mari Burgess. I am an LPCC and an AMFT in California. I take a collaborative and energetic approach to my work with clients. My approach Each client is unique; therefore, an eclectic approach is important. I engage clients to understand their needs and goals while collaboratively developing a treatment plan with appropriate therapeutic approaches. I typically work within CBT, Narrative, REBT, and DBT with individuals. With couples or families, I draw from Structural, Strategic, and Systems family therapy. My focus My background is in community mental health. I have worked with individuals on conservatorship due to schizophrenia and those with relationship difficulties from depression and anxiety. I have extensive experience with personality disorders, eating, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. I also work with clients struggling with addictions, understanding the strain addiction causes, and approach them with compassion. Additionally, I support individuals who have survived various traumatic experiences. My primary work is with individuals, couples, and families. My communication style I create a calm, supportive, and encouraging environment. I use REBT to inspire clients to expand their limits and overcome challenges. I listen and walk with clients on their journeys toward better emotional regulation and decision-making. My journey to mental healthcare My path to becoming a therapist is personal. I struggled with challenges as an adolescent and young adult, made many bad choices, fueled bad habits, and let trauma lead me. Now, I use that invaluable life experience in treating clients. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University, which deeply informs my work with individuals, couples, and families.
