Mary Elizabeth Burns, LPC

I offer trauma-informed psychotherapy for adolescents and adults in Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Cumming, and across Georgia, specializing in PTSD, ADHD, eating disorders, body image concerns, and perfectionism. My work integrates somatic therapy, breathwork, and evidence-based approaches such as CBT and DBT, supporting change that is both practical and deeply felt. Clients often seek me out for a thoughtful, grounded approach that feels steady, personalized, and respectful of their complexity.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing trauma-informed therapy for adolescents and adults in Sandy Springs, Buckhead, and Cumming, Georgia. I specialize in trauma therapy for PTSD, ADHD therapy, eating disorder therapy, body image concerns, and the persistent pressure of perfectionism. Many of the individuals I work with are capable, thoughtful, and accustomed to managing a great deal on their own—often at a personal cost that becomes difficult to ignore.
My approach is integrative and grounded in careful attention to the mind–body connection. I incorporate somatic therapy, breathwork, and evidence-based modalities including CBT and DBT, tailoring treatment to each client rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. The work we do together is both practical and reflective, supporting change that is steady, meaningful, and sustainable.
Therapy with me is collaborative and intentional. I strive to create a space that feels contained, thoughtful, and discreet—where complexity is met with care, and progress unfolds at a pace that respects the whole person.
