of clinicians and has received extensive training on college and

Specifically, Dr. Burnes’ central teaching pedagogy involves helping

Training.
Research Interests and Current Projects
Dr.
Burnes’ research and scholarly interests revolve primarily around
identity development for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
individuals. He has conducted qualitative research projects that have
investigated how lesbian, gay, and bisexual people of color come to
know their sexual orientation identity and how they share this chosen
identity with others. He is currently investigating the experiences of
transgender and intersex individuals in therapy. In addition to his
research interests, Dr. Burnes currently serves on the Steering
Committee for the new Professional School Counseling Program at Penn.
