Hello, I'm Naomi "Alix" Burke. I welcome clients of various identities and do not discriminate based upon gender or sexual identity, race, ethnicity, religion or non-religion, class, political affiliation, monogamous/polyamorous status, substance use or sobriety/recovery status, or level of education. I primarily see adult and teen (13+) clients for individual therapy and provide couples/relationship therapy on a limited basis. I love helping clients explore and better understand the nuances of their own diagnoses and identities, develop and reinforce self-worth and self-acceptance, and improve coping and executive functioning.

I am a licensed mental health counselor and I have worked with addictions, domestic violence, trauma, and mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety. It is important to me to establish a partnership with the client, working with the struggles that impact their functioning which includes quality of life. Substance abuse, trauma, mental illness are all situations that compromise us, and keep us from creating a life of meaning and purpose. My joy comes from watching clients’ transformation as they heal or overcome the barriers that keep them from flourishing.

Over the past 20 years of licensure, I have witnessed the impact anxiety, depression, and substance use can have on our families.
Life often feels like a series transitional periods and sudden changes happening all at once. It can be overwhelming, confusing and, sometimes, lonely. It is the way we move through those times in life that matters, and there is no shame in searching for support. As women, we often feel we must have every piece of life together and when one piece goes missing from the puzzle, we feel as though we have failed each step of the way. Little do we know, there is always hope.

I have specialized training for substance use disorders.
When I meet a new client, I like to acknowledge that therapy is a courageous choice. Our first meeting is a time for me to learn why you reached out and what kind of change you are seeking. It is also a time for you to learn how you feel about me! If you return, then ongoing therapy sessions will consist of evidence-based practices that are specific to your goals and needs. We will measure and record your progress, so that you can make informed decisions about what works for you. Some people remain in therapy indefinitely because they like the ongoing support, while others exit after succeeding toward a specific, time-limited goal.

Substance Use Therapists

How do substance and drug recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other clients in recovery; in outpatient programs, individuals reside at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff often also includes people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other methods.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for substance use reduce the amount of drugs they consume. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.

Are there specific medications for substance and drug use?

There are medications approved to treat substance use disorder—such as buprenorphine, methadone, naltrexone, and acamprosate. These medications do help people cope with substance use as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone can help reduce cravings, methadone is an opioid medication used to treat severe pain, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.
