Therapy to see yourself more clearly and move toward the life you actually want.
Therapy without judgment, pressure, or one-size-fits-all solutions.
Therapy in Georgia, California, Florida, and Colorado
An individualized and collaborative therapy approach.
We work together to understand the different parts of you – especially the ones that feel stuck, conflicted, or reactive – so they can be met with curiosity rather than pushed away.
There’s no preset path or expectation. The work stays flexible and creative, shaped around who you are and what actually fits.
Along the way, I integrate what we’re learning from neuroscience and newer, emerging approaches to healing – using that knowledge to support how people process experience, update old patterns, and take in new ways of relating to themselves.
The goal with therapy isn’t just insight.
It’s helping you respond to your life with more clarity and choice, and take meaningful steps toward what matters, in a way that feels grounded and sustainable.

About your therapist
Meet Powell Burke, LCSW
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing psychotherapy to clients with a background shaped by both clinical training and a broader foundation in the humanities. I was born and raised in Tallahassee, Florida, studied internationally in Florence, and have lived and worked in cities including New York, Atlanta, and New Orleans, and gained experiences that continue to inform how I understand people and their environments.
Alongside my clinical work, I have an ongoing practice as a fiction writer with published work and participation in national and international residencies, reflecting a long-standing interest in identity, meaning, and how people make sense of their lives.
The Lantern Room has a few therapy focuses:
-
Gender Identity
Therapy for gender exploration, transition, and the broader psychological experience that can accompany gender-related self-discovery. Clients include transgender, nonbinary, questioning, and gender-diverse individuals.
-
Life Transitions
Support for periods of significant change, chosen or not, including the identity disruption, grief, and uncertainty that emerge when existing life structures no longer fit.
-
Self-Esteem & People-Pleasing
Therapy for shame, self-worth, and the relational patterns, including people-pleasing, approval-seeking, and chronic self-doubt, that often develop early and persist into adult relationships and self-concept.
In The Lantern Room, the focus is on bringing light to what is already there – slowing things down, making space for all parts of a client’s experience, and approaching it with acceptance rather than judgment.
I do not see clients as problems to fix, but as people whose patterns make sense in context and whose strengths can be built on, with the work shaped around each client’s identity, preferences, and goals.
The how and the method
Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but I do tap into these modalities as needed:
Internal Family
Systems (IFS)
A framework for understanding your mind as a system of distinct internal patterns, each with its own role, logic, and history, rather than random or contradictory experiences.
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Combines ketamine with structured preparation and integration to help access material and shift patterns that have been difficult to reach through traditional therapy alone.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Builds psychological flexibility so you can stay present with difficult internal experiences without being controlled by them, while making choices aligned with your values.
