Psychotherapy opens our perceptions to the meanings behind our beliefs and patterns of behavior, that in turn comprise the roles we take in our lives. My job is to help you integrate these perceptions and access these meanings, so you can expand your life by creating new roles.

Self Psychology
Roderic Burks - Integrative Mental Health
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, MS HSc, MA, LMHC, LPC
I believe therapy is a space for deep, meaningful change—not just symptom relief. My work is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens, helping clients explore the aspects of themselves shaped by past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns. I approach this process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story.
I specialize in working with trauma recovery, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues. I view these challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as signals pointing toward deeper patterns that deserve attention and care. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those that have been overworked, hidden, or misunderstood.
My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, inner balance, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

Fort Lauderdale has one of the largest LGBTQ+ communities and most established affirming therapy ecosystems in the southeastern United States, with LGBTQ+-focused practices and therapists well represented across the city and Broward County. The city's affluent waterfront and yachting culture — and its reputation as a destination for wealthy retirees and seasonal residents — create a distinctive therapy clientele that includes high-net-worth individuals navigating relationship complexity, addiction, and the existential weight of leisure-focused affluence. Broward Health and Memorial Healthcare System provide institutional mental health resources for a county of nearly two million people. Fort Lauderdale's large Brazilian and Haitian communities generate demand for Portuguese- and Haitian Creole-speaking therapists, and the broader South Florida recovery community makes addiction treatment and aftercare among the most active practice areas in the region.
