Hello! My name is Kawana Burnett and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters of Social Work from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I have worked in my field for 7 years and specialize in working alongside adults dealing with various life stressors and a variety of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar, acute stress, PTSD, and adjustment disorders. I have extensive work in crisis intervention and dealing with suicidality. I recently worked with incarcerated individuals, and my treatment approaches include: Humanistic Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I may use aspects of many treatment approaches tailored to meet your individual needs.
Interesting Fact #1: I was involved in 7 different sports teams and am still the most clumsiest, unathletic person you'll meet. Go sports!
Interesting Fact #2: In my spare time, I look for activities and hobbies that I can do in my spare time and for the most part it leads to a food-related activity. Finding new restaurants is the best!
Sub-interesting Fact #2: I have ordered vegetarian and vegan food with bacon added because I do love vegetarian and vegan foods and I also believe that bacon makes everything better.
Feel free to reach out if you believe I will be a good fit. YOU GOT THIS!

My experience with my therapist Kawana Burnett is beyond my expectations. I’ve dreaded this process for a very long time and now I look forward to our weekly session.
