Hi there! Thanks for taking some time to read more about me and my work. As a therapist, I have a huge passion for helping young adults struggling with questions such as "Who am I?" "Where do my feelings come from?" and "What do I do from here?". I spend many hours with clients diving deeper into these questions, and helping clients with issues surrounding anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and identity. I look forward to answering any questions you may have, and potentially working with you in the future!

We all have our reasons for seeking help. Maybe Depression or anxiety have weighed you down. You may be mourning a great loss. Or contemplaitng a major change in your life. Maybe you experience pain in your closest relationships. Or a conflict in your life seems to follow you wherever you go. Whatever your reason, therapy can help carve a path toward a more fulfilling life. We are changed, for better or worse, by every relationship in our lives. And my hope is that our relationship will bring about the healing you seek. My name is Zach Burck. I am a licensed mental health counselor. I provide individual therapy, both in person and virtually, to Indiana residents. I work in long-term depth therapy to go beyond coping and create lasting change. I use psychodynamic therapy to deepen understanding of the problems you face through exploration of your thoughts, feelings, fantasies, dreams, and relationships. This process can help you develop more self-awareness, heal old wounds, foster more intimate relationships, and live a more fulfilling life.

Let me be your guide to better understanding yourself and why you think, feel, and behave in the ways that you do. You know yourself better than anyone, but I can help you notice patterns that have been hidden or locked away. Whether experiencing anxiety, relationship concerns, or a low self-esteem, it is my hope to give you a soft space to land with genuine care and kindness. I’ve been a practitioner for 5 years specializing in anxiety, attachment wounds, inner child work, and sex & sexuality. I work with lots of different populations, but mostly work with femmes, trans and nonbinary folks, and the LGBTQ+ community. My goal as your therapist is for you to get to know yourself and others in a more attuned, empathetic, and compassionate way. In my personal time I love to read (expect a lot of book recommendations) and occasionally crochet. I love a good cup of coffee, practicing yoga, and connecting with the earth and nature through native gardening and hiking.
