Martha Burich

Martha Burich works as a behavior consultant, talking with people and helping them change behaviors related to parenting, addiction, and other challenges. She previously taught high school for 16 years and child psychology at the college level for 10 years. Burich earned a Bachelor of General Studies in 1984, a Master's degree from the University of Missouri in 1991, and pursued doctoral studies, completing all but her dissertation by 2006. She is listed in Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities from 1991 and in Who's Who for 2025. In addition to her consulting practice, Burich has done extensive volunteer work in the addiction community, including going into a jail once a week for four years to help women overcome addictions and transition successfully after release. She wrote a book in 1995 that was published in 2024 with an endorsement from Jack Canfield, along with two workbooks, one for parents and another titled Feel it, face it, free it for those struggling with emotions. Burich attributes her success to the stoic guidance of her mother, who encouraged her to return to college after being dismissed from two institutions, and she advises others in her field to keep learning, reject the notion that rejection is final, and never quit.
