Dayjah Lachey Burton

Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT 165097)

Welcome, My name is DayJah Burton, and you can call me DayJah. I am a Board Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT 165097) at Guillaume Marriage and Family Counseling. I provide services in English, both in person and through telehealth, under the clinical supervision of Nahomie Guillaume, LMFT (#48571), and Kristi Abbott, LCSW (#65194).

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a Pre-Law concentration from California State University, East Bay in 2023. I graduated with my Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Francisco in 2026.

I am passionate about serving communities of color and supporting adults, couples, families, adolescents, and children ages 8 and up. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy, with services for younger children offered on a limited basis. I also hold a special interest in supporting neurodivergent clients, older adults, the LGBTQIA+ community, and clients who identify as Christian, agnostic, or atheist. I strive to honor each person’s spiritual, religious, or nonreligious identity with respect and care.

Although I am newly graduated, my background reflects years of experience supporting people in educational, behavioral health, recovery-focused, and community-based settings. I have worked in school district settings with children and families, provided support in behavioral health environments, and served in recovery coaching roles where I helped individuals build daily living skills, manage stressors, and work toward stability. My volunteer work has also included peer-to-peer mental health support and community service, which continues to strengthen my commitment to advocacy, compassion, and reducing stigma around mental health.

In therapy, my focus is to create a space where you can feel safe, supported, heard, seen, and comfortable sharing at your own pace. My approach integrates evidence-based and culturally responsive practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-focused care, Family Systems Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, to meet you where you are and support your growth.

I welcome clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, interpersonal concerns, environmental stressors, spirituality, identity, life transitions, family relationships, parenting concerns, cultural identity concerns, dating, self-worth, communication, relationship patterns, and sexual exploration and identity. I also support clients in committed relationships who want to strengthen connection, trust, and understanding.

I welcome you into a collaborative space where you can feel supported as you explore healing, growth, and meaningful change. Let’s dive in and heal!
