Ken Burke, LICSW
Therapist | Founder
Hi, I'm Ken.
I'm a therapist based in Massachusetts, specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, and OCD.
Before opening Inner Cosmos Counseling, I spent years working in one of the most complex clinical environments there is, child welfare, where I supported individuals and families navigating trauma, crisis, and high-conflict family dynamics. I then served as a clinical supervisor, supporting other clinicians as they helped some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.
That experience shaped how I work. I've sat with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives, not in a quiet office, but in living rooms, courtrooms, and emergency situations. I've seen what happens when someone doesn't have support, and I've seen what becomes possible when they do.
I became a therapist because I believe people deserve a space where they're genuinely understood, not managed, not judged, and not rushed. Private practice gives me the ability to slow down and do that work with intention.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapy, with a particular focus on how stress and trauma live in the body and mind over time. I work collaboratively, meaning therapy isn't something I do to you; it's something we do together. Whether you're navigating something acute or working through patterns that have followed you for years, I'll meet you where you are.
I work with adults and adolescents throughout Massachusetts
