Marc Burger, MA, LPC | Child & Family Counselor in Clarkston, MI
Hi, I'm Marc. I'm a licensed professional counselor at Giesken Counseling Services in Clarkston, MI, and I specialize in working with children. I also work with teenagers, adults, couples, and families.
Starting counseling can feel like a big step, whether it's for you or for your child. My approach is to take it slowly, listen, and make sure you feel comfortable. You don't need to have everything figured out before your first session. If you're a parent looking for support for your child, a teenager trying counseling for the first time, a couple, or an adult who's ready to talk, you're welcome here.
Education & Credentials
I earned my Master's Degree in Counseling from Spring Arbor University. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Saginaw Valley State University, with double minors in Psychology and Sociology.
I've spent much of my career working in school systems, churches, and residential treatment facilities supporting victims of abuse and neglect. I've also supported children, teenagers, and individuals with Spectrum Disorders in a variety of settings.
Who I Work With
I work with people of all ages and backgrounds, including:
- Children and teenagers
- Adults
- Couples
- Families
- Individuals on the Autism Spectrum
- Children and teens who have experienced abuse and neglect
My Approach
These diverse professional experiences prepare me to work effectively with individuals, couples, and families of all backgrounds and ages. I look forward to connecting with new clients and supporting them as they work toward fulfilling, healthy lives.
