Adam Funderburk, B.A.
Counselor Intern
Adam is a Counselor Intern at The Anxiety & Stress Management Institute. He graduated from Georgia State University in 1998 with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and a minor in Philosophy, and he is currently in the graduate program at Argosy University working towards a Master of Arts in Community Counseling. After obtaining his bachelor’s degree, Adam spent 12 years in the various fields of construction, personal training, and finance, eventually resigning from his Operations Manager position at a financial company in order to focus on school. He draws upon his rich and eclectic experiences as both an inspiration and aid in relating to clients of diverse
backgrounds.
Adam’s therapeutic approach is integrative, incorporating client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, narrative, and existential methods strongly influenced by the mindfulness-based compassion of Buddhism. Due to his fitness training background, as well as his 23 years of martial arts experience, Adam also incorporates principles of mind-body connection and wellness into his practice. As well, his approach is informed by his anthropological and philosophical studies, which emphasize the importance of each client’s unique culture and worldview. Overall, Adam’s approach to counseling is holistic and multi-modal, underscored by the conviction that humans are wonderfully complex beings, constantly influencing and being influenced by the world around them. He believes that effective counseling must address and honor this interdependence.
Adam is interested in working in working with individuals on issues of work-life balance, anxiety, stress, wellness, relationships, communication, grief, guilt, anger, spirituality/religion, purpose, and meaning.
