My name is Johnnie Burt, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with the state of Oregon and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington State. Capstone Counseling, LLC is a private counseling practice in Woodburn, Oregon, conveniently located midway between Portland and Salem.
I am a trauma-informed counselor working with people struggling with a wide range of traumatic experiences. Research has shown adverse childhood experiences (ACES) are associated with both behavioral health and chronic physical health conditions. The behavioral health concerns can present challenges in relationships, careers, and other aspects of life. It is vital to understand the nature and impact of one's specific trauma to start on a path of healing.
Relationships are the cornerstone of our humanity. Broken relationships can cause isolation and pain for the individuals involved. Healthy relationships can be extremely challenging to sustain especially when an individual has experienced trauma in childhood. Embracing one's own value is key to restoring a shattered sense of self-worth and developing the belief that one's voice matters.
My goal is to enable hurting individuals to successfully resolve their past and present trauma, along with their personal and family conflicts by providing a comfortable, supportive environment conducive to frankness and transparency. My role as a counselor is not to impose cookie-cutter solutions on clients but to facilitate changes that can produce the healing and growth that clients seek. That means at times I will "hold space" to let people express themselves and help them dig deeper to achieve a greater degree of freedom in their lives.
