Hello, I'm Kelly Burda

For over 25 years, I have had an unwavering stance in helping others achieve independence and growth in their personal recovery goals. My behavioral health background includes clinical and administrative oversight in the state hospital system, along with supporting those living their life in the community.

I focus my work on providing training and consultation for individuals, groups, and organizations that directly support individuals on their recovery journey. I provide training in Motivational Interviewing and all of the Evidence-Based Practices within the Assertive Community Treatment Model (ACT). I am also a Member of Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT).

In conjunction with Angela Sacks, please refer to the Training header above to learn about and register for the trainings we are currently offering.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

An ACT Team consists of a community-based group of medical, behavioral health, and rehabilitation professionals who use a team approach to meet the needs of an individual with severe and persistent mental illness. An ACT Team provides person-centered services addressing the breadth of an individual's needs, helping them to achieve their personal goals.
