Angela Burke

CANTON — For Angela Burke, founder of Burke Counseling and Wellness, building a business in her hometown is about more than professional independence. It’s about helping people recognize when life has become overwhelming and empowering them to make meaningful changes.

A Canton native with 22 years of social work experience, Burke transitioned to full-time private practice in July 2025. She wanted to respond to community needs, provide personalized care, and create a healthier balance in her own life.

“Starting my own practice meant taking the same advice I give my clients — recognizing when something isn’t working anymore and giving yourself permission to make a change,” she said. “I wanted to build something that allowed me to better serve my clients while creating a more sustainable balance for myself.”

Through Burke Counseling and Wellness, she works with adults and couples navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Her practice also focuses on parenting, LGBTQ+ adults and the emotional demands of midlife and perimenopause.

Many clients share a familiar experience: They’re the dependable ones, managing careers, families and responsibilities while quietly struggling to keep up. Burke’s approach is warm, direct and collaborative, combining honest conversations with practical strategies clients can apply in everyday life.

Individual therapy focuses on managing stress, establishing healthy boundaries and recognizing personal needs. Couples therapy helps partners move beyond recurring arguments, strengthen communication, and reconnect.

As a wife, mother of twin boys and business owner, Burke understands firsthand the challenges of balancing competing responsibilities while prioritizing personal well-being.

“So many people spend their lives taking care of everyone else that they forget to make room for themselves,” she said. “I want my clients to know that their needs matter, too, and that making even small changes can have a meaningful impact on their lives.”

Although her practice is rooted in Canton, Burke serves clients through telehealth services. She is licensed in New York, Connecticut, Florida, and Vermont. Her goal is to create a welcoming environment where people feel heard, can speak openly about their struggles, and receive practical support for moving forward.

For Burke, success isn’t about growing a business. It’s about helping others build healthier relationships and create manageable and fulfilling lives. Contact her at 315-229-2392 or www.BurkeCounselingandWellness.com.
