She possesses an extensive range of qualifications that have expertly equipped her for caring for patients with a range of specific needs at Bay Area Behavioral Health in Annapolis, Maryland.

Bay Area Behavioral Health is an institution that has been dedicated to providing a wide range of different mental health services for individuals at all stages of life since 1990. This includes support for children and adolescents, whom their parents could have concerns about in terms of issues dealing with behavior or schooling.

On the subject of her educational background, Dr. Burlingame holds three different master’s degrees, a Master of Education (M.Ed), a Master of Business Administration (MBA), as well as a Master of Arts (MA) in American Studies.

The doctor remains at the forefront of her challenging specialty via memberships and affiliations with prestigious professional societies and associations such as the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH). The ASCH is unique among organizations for professionals using hypnosis. The mission of the ASCH is to provide and encourage education programs to further, in every ethical way, the knowledge, understanding, and application of hypnosis in health care; to encourage research and scientific publication in the field of hypnosis; to promote the further recognition and acceptance of hypnosis as an important tool in clinical health care and focus for scientific research; to cooperate with other professional societies that share mutual goals, ethics, and interests; and to provide a professional community for those clinicians and researchers who use hypnosis in their work.

A certified hypnotherapist, Dr. Burlingame specializes in child and adolescent psychology, child and adult counseling, hypnotherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. She played a major role in developing pioneering programs at both the well-known Anne Arundel Medical Center and the Columbia Health Center in 1997. 

Psychology is the science of behavior and mind. It includes the study of conscious and unconscious phenomena, as well as feeling and thought. Through counseling and experimentation, psychologists work to promote safety, understanding, and good mental health. They work in research, teaching, and clinical practice to help patients understand themselves and cope with day-to-day issues, mental illness, abuse, addiction, and loss. 

Dedicated to sharing her extensive range of knowledge with others, Dr. Burlingame has authored more than 30 journal articles. She attributes her success to the continued personal relationship she has with her colleagues and her patients, as well as to the constant fulfillment she feels.

In her spare time, she is a keen writer and artist. She also enjoys collecting antiques and restoring old homes.
