OUR DIFFERENT APPROACH

A safe place for you to be yourself and be heard

We are a group of licensed mental health therapist who specializes in helping clients to recognize unhealthy patterns of behavior in their lives and discover the “why” that’s causing them so much pain. We know you’re tired of life as usual and we’re here to give you the power to change what’s been hindering you.

THERAPY IS IMPORTANT

Treat the source instead of symptoms

Our history of trauma in the Black community goes beyond textbooks and media propaganda, it has been so profoundly impactful in our present lives. You can see it in the way we respond to a crisis, the way we parent, even in the way we treat each other. Forward movement in our community begins with YOU!

A note to clients

Important Announcement: Transition to Sole Practice

We are excited to announce that Transformative Mind Counseling is undergoing an important transition. Starting June 1st, we will begin the process of moving from a Group Mental Health Practice to a Sole Practice. This transition will be complete by August 1st, at which time Transformative Mind Counseling will operate as a solo practice.

What This Means for You:

  • Continued Quality Care: Current clients will continue to receive the same high-quality, personalized care that you have come to expect from Transformative Mind Counseling. You can create a plan with your clinician!

  • Personalized Attention: As a sole practitioner, I will be able to offer even more personalized and dedicated attention to each of my clients.

  • Seamless Transition: We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for all our clients. There will be no interruptions to your scheduled appointments or ongoing treatment plans.

Key Dates to Remember:

  • June 1st: The transition process begins. You may notice some changes in our administrative processes, but rest assured that your care remains our top priority.

  • August 1st: Transformative Mind Counseling officially becomes a solo practice. From this date forward, all services will be provided exclusively by me, Aja Burks, Ph.D., LMSW.

Thank you for your continued trust and support during this exciting time of transformation. I look forward to continuing to serve you and support your mental health journey with the same dedication and compassion.

If you have any questions or need further information about this transition, please feel free to contact us at info@transformativemindcounseling.com.

Warm regards,

Aja Burks., PhD., LMSW

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU

Do you feel like you're just "going through the motions" and not living the life you anticipated for yourself?

SPECIALITIES

I offer 4 types of counseling services to help you.

Trauma

Trauma is something, unfortunately, most of us have experienced in our lifetime. Uncovering and healing from the trauma affect your ability to live the life you deserve. It’s time to ignite the power you have inside of yourself.

 

Anxiety

In treating anxiety, I create a safe, supportive space where we can explore what’s fueling your anxiety and how it affects your life. Together, we will develop practical tools to manage your stress, gain control over anxious thoughts, and build confidence in facing challenges. Therapy is not just about understanding anxiety but about actively working toward relief, helping you feel more balanced and empowered.

Life Transitions
