Mary Jo Burke, PhD

"I took my child for evaluation in 2003. I am still so grateful for her approach to evaluation. In a world ready to diagnose everyone with an issue she is objective yet positive in identifying concerns and suggesting solutions. If you are looking for a therapist to help you or your child function better in their environment, this is a great psychologist. That being said - each person is likely to have a different experience because we are all different. At least I am confident this psychologist sees each person as an individual. Thank you Mary Jo. I am bringing another child your way and I look forward to helping him together."

"I contacted Mary about seeking help with my 7 year old son who has some anger issues. On our first phone conversation before she has met me, my son, or asked any background information, she told me that telling a 7 year he needs therapy is psychologically damaging. The implication that I even approached it with my child in that manner is insulting. She then proceeded to lecture me about how 7 year olds don’t have innate anger issues and that she thinks it is much more likely that the parents need counseling to manage their child. I cannot believe how presumptuous and unprofessional that conversation was without knowing anything about our situation. Clearly she needs a little more empathy and less judgement."
