Dr. Jeffrey Burch, Psy.D
Director of Behavioral Justice Services
“My ‘why’—and the reason I feel drawn to working with those in the criminal justice system—is to help the most vulnerable and ensure they feel seen, no matter where they are. As a Behavioral Justice Team, our job is to believe in people until they can believe in themselves.”
