Our Team

I’m Pat Burns, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who provides in‑person sessions in Pace, Florida, and telehealth across the state.

I work best with adults who are ready to take ownership of their growth. My ideal clients are men and women who recognize that real change requires commitment—and who understand that investing in themselves matters. That’s why I work on a self‑pay basis: when you have skin in the game, you show up differently. You work harder. And the results last longer.

I specialize in helping individuals who carry the weight of high‑stress, high‑responsibility careers—law enforcement, military, first responders, medical professionals, leaders, and anyone whose job demands calm under pressure while chaos swirls around them. After nearly two decades in law enforcement myself, I understand what it’s like to stand in that gap, to push through, to compartmentalize, and to keep going even when it costs you more than you admit.

My ideal clients may be dealing with:

• Anxiety that won’t shut off

• Depression or emotional exhaustion

• PTSD or trauma from years of accumulated stress

• Relationship strain from constantly “being on”

• Identity struggles, transitions, or feeling “stuck”

• The pressure to stay strong for everyone else

You don’t have to explain the culture to me—I get it.

And for clients who want it, I incorporate Christian counseling and spiritual grounding, helping you reconnect with the deeper purpose, peace, and identity God offers. Not as a requirement, but as an invitation.

If you’re ready to do the work, to dig deeper, and to build a more resilient, grounded life, I’m here to walk that path with you.
