My Path: From the Frontlines to Holistic Restoration
My entrance into therapy wasn't through a classroom, but through two decades within the New York City Department of Corrections. Serving as a Correction Officer provided a raw, unvarnished look at human struggle that no university could replicate. I lived the high-stakes pressure and witnessed how profound trauma affects those inside the cells and those wearing the badge. This sparked a deep desire to look past actions and understand the humans beneath, leading me to study Forensic Psychology at John Jay College.
After retiring from law enforcement, I dedicated years to juvenile justice, confirming my core conviction: a person is defined by their future potential, not their darkest day. Now, as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, I lead Burke Counseling & Wellness, PLLC. My clinical practice is built on real-world grit and deep empathy. I specialize in helping first responders and professionals in high-stress fields finally lower their guard in a space that truly understands their specific burdens.
My life is a testament to the power of transformation. I chose to evolve, proving that your history is not your destiny. I am here to help you identify your inner strengths and grant yourself the grace to build a new life. Whether you are battling grief or seeking a fresh start, we will work together to rewrite your narrative.
Reinvent yourself with Diane Burke.
