About

Hi, I’m Fatima Burton, LCSW — founder of Better Days Integrative Therapy and a licensed psychotherapist in both Washington, DC and New York. For nearly 15 years, I’ve supported individuals, teens, and couples through anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, major life transitions, relationship difficulties, and the pressures of everyday life. My work is grounded in warmth, deep listening, and a belief that healing grows when people feel truly seen and understood. I’m trained in trauma-informed care, CBT, mind-body practices, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) integration. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with holistic, restorative modalities that support both emotional clarity and nervous system healing. At the heart of my work is this belief: Your past matters, but it does not define your future. I help clients explore how their experiences, relationships, and hidden beliefs shape the present — and together we build new pathways toward self-worth, confidence, groundedness, and joy.
