Kenneth Burton

Born in Louisiana to a large family in 1963 where a child could get lost. Experiences from my life got me curious about human behavior so after high school, I decided to attend Dillard University where I studied Psychology. Afterwards, I enlisted in the United States Navy where I served for 22 years but never lost the passion to study human behavior so in 1998, I decided to add Chemical Dependence Counseling to my education and I became a Substance Use Disorder Professional. I have been doing Substance Use disorder Counseling for 20 years. In 2008, I attended the University of Phoenix and obtained a Master's Degree in Psychology. During the course of my experience as a substance use disorder counselor, I was introduced to family group counseling which taught me that the best outcomes to helping individuals may be best through a family system lens, so I decided to study marriage and family therapy with North Central University and during an Internship with Real life Counseling.
