Burks O. Harkins, M.Ed., LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, with more than 20 years' experience working in various treatment settings, including a private psychiatric hospital, a residential setting, and most recently, in community mental health providing clinical assessments and outpatient therapy. My goal is to provide a supportive environment where clients tap into their own strengths to focus on issues at their own pace.
I received my BA from the University of Virginia and my MEd from Lynchburg College.
I have been married more than 30 years, have two adult children and a grandchild. My hobbies include attempting to garden and chasing my grandson and rescue dogs.
