Coach Burton's Person-Centered Expert Companion Model

Coach Burton received a Master's Degree and doctoral candidacy in Psychology from New York University and then became a Certified Life Coach, specializing in trauma recovery, Credentialed Alcohol & Substance Abuse Counselor, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

Both a practitioner and self-healer, Burton has spent thousands of hours helping patients with their own recovery, facilitated hundreds of psychotherapy groups, read hundreds of books on recovery, and spent a decade on his own healing journey, as he describes in his new book, The Gift: Trauma to Triumph.

Coach Burton combines the key principles and core beliefs of Rogerian Person-Centered Therapy with Tedeschi & Calhoun's Expert Companion Model so that clients may receive the benefits of deep human connection and unconditional positive regard, as well as the expert guidance required to help them move beyond pain and suffering to positive psychological growth and transformation.
