Those who spend time with Sutton often feel a quiet relief—like they don’t have to pretend. Her authenticity gives others permission to be fully themselves. Her balance of candor and kindness is part of what makes people trust her so quickly: they know they’ll be met with both heart and honesty, without judgment or pretense.

A driving force behind Sutton’s work is her commitment to raising the standard of mental health care in the Cayman Islands. From innovating service options to expanding access, her leadership is rooted in trust, integrity, and a clear vision for what’s possible.

Sutton serves as a Cabinet-appointed member of the Cayman Islands Mental Health Commission, contributing her expertise to national conversations on mental health access, policy, and care delivery.

Real stories. Real results.

We brought our 11-year old son to see Sutton when he was having difficulty with his emotions and his behaviour while transitioning to a high school environment. Our experience was very positive. Sutton's approach was evidence-informed, pragmatic and empathetic. She provided my son with practical tools to help him identify and manage his emotions and control his behaviour. Sutton also provided my husband and I with invaluable parenting advice to support our son. We are all so grateful for her help and saw remarkable improvements that have been sustained over time. We can recommend Sutton's services without hesitation. Our son sends a big "thank you!!" to Sutton as I write this.
There are times in your life when you fall and skin your knee! There are times in when you fall flat on your face! There are times when you fall so hard you don’t want to get back up. That was where I was when I walked into Sutton’s office. I had reached my bottom! In fact I think I had dug a hole about three feet below that. The shovel I used to dig that hole was then covering me with dirt all on its own. I was riddled with shame, guilt and had lost all sense of self long before then. Sutton, helped me restore the light within me. With patience, persistence, and compassion, she helped me find the strength to get back up and rewrite my story. Sutton, has an unearthly ability to combine evidenced based therapy, with an incredibly empathetic, and intuitive ability, that motivated me to make the necessary changes in my life. I am forever grateful.
One of the biggest fears we have is asking for help and with any new relationship it takes time to build trust, allowing that person to see the sides that we hide from the world. Over the past 13 years I have spoken to many different therapists and with each one I have had different a experience. Each individual was able to help me gain recognition to the reasons why I was living in so much emotional pain. In 2014 my life turned upside down and it was at that point where I needed professional help and it was Sutton who became my therapist. I' am thankful that she was there to help me turn all the darkness and broken pieces in my life into light. living with mental illness is not easy and that is why when you decide to enter a small room with someone who you are about to open your soul to, it is best you have an idea of who that person is. Especially if your taking this step on your own without telling friends or family; Sutton is one of the most straight up honest professional women who I have seen, she is very supportive and will always look at whats healthy and best for you. I appreciate this because I feel safe knowing that she can see me at my lowest and make sure I am safe. Like I said it is never easy asking for help, but I know if I am afraid I can turn to her and my best interest is always going to be first. Sutton has worked with me one on one as well as with my father. She helped clarify his own doubts about his parenting giving him peace in before he passed away. She was able to give him clarity about my illness and assured him that he was not the cause of my pain and trauma as well as helping him with is own behaviors. After each session I have, I leave stronger and more aware of my present state of mind. I am given tasks to focus on until our next session and I am always encouraged to check in. Sutton is able to teach you coping skills that treatment centers focus on and help you stay in recovery. She has the experience to listen and understand your battle helping you believe in yourself to finally let go of the pain. I don't have children yet, but if I did and they had the same illnesses or trauma I have had , Sutton would be who they would go to. She knows about my childhood and struggles and how she has helped my behaviors I can trustingly honestly say your child is in safe hands
"I attended regular sessions with Sutton over a six-month period. I found Sutton insightful and very helpful on a practical level. Certainly, I feel much more self-aware as a result of these sessions, better able to deal with practical issues and able to live more in the moment. In summary, for me the experience has been truly enriching."
"My daughter was diagnosed at birth with a medical condition that causes her to suffer from anxiety and depression. Last year at age 10, after a neuropsychology evaluation, counselling was recommended to begin asap. Two weeks later, along came Sutton for our first session. Neither my daughter nor myself knew what to expect. We were both anxious and I was certainly tense. You see, my child's condition, while quite common among females is one that is not well known out there especially as a lot of females are often undiagnosed. After spending years educating others, even some in the medical field and being proactive in getting services for her, I was wondering if this lady would know how to treat my precious child. That first day we entered Sutton's office and immediately she made us feel comfortable and at home. She exuded warmth and friendliness. She treated my daughter like the intelligent human being that she is, not condescending as some adults might treat a child, not forceful but with care and understanding, showing my daughter that her thoughts, ideas and feelings are valued. We learnt many strategies and techniques as a part of the treatment. I received weekly Homework . My daughter did too and we didn't mind one bit. In the early stages, I wondered what to make of it all but then I began to see the gradual improvements along the way. Sutton is the ultimate professional while being personable and caring. My daughter and I appreciate Sutton very much for her dedication and warm spirit. My daughter is ALWAYS very excited to go to her sessions. While away on vacation last Summer, my daughter needed her and Sutton made contact with her via phone and spent long periods on the phone with her throughout that time. THOSE WERE NOT BILLING SESSIONS. When we came back on island, she reached out to us to check on my daughter. Even though Sutton taught us various techniques and strategies, last September I was extremely worried about how my daughter would fare while Sutton went off on maternity leave. Just about the time Sutton went off, my daughter began high school. We had opted not to see anyone while Sutton was off but to ""patiently"" await her return. I thought the transition into high school would have been a traumatic experience for my daughter. However, it soon became evident that my worrying was a waste of emotions as the true testament of Sutton's work was reflected in my daughter's coping skills during that time. She ACED it by employing the strategies and techniques Sutton taught her. I too used what I was taught to help her but my help was to a lesser degree. Did Sutton leave her alone for all the time she was off? Goodness, NO! Approximately six weeks after having her baby, contact was made and maintained. Being on this lifelong journey of challenges with my daughter has at times been painful and stressful. I have had feelings of helplessness when faced with my daughters emotional challenges knowing that I don't have the requisite skills to help her. As such, I am very grateful to Sutton because she has affected such a positive change in my daughter. She has empowered her. She has caused her to have a better quality emotional life which transcends into a better quality of life and for that I will be eternally grateful. I look forward to our continued relationship and DEFINITELY RECOMMEND her services. "
Sometimes you meet people who are truly doing what they're meant to do... this was the case when I found Infinite Mindcare. I had searched for help from multiple professionals before having the good fortune of finding Sutton Burke. She helped me acquire the tools I needed to work through not only my existing anxiety, but any future challenges that come my way. Her guidance and support positively impacted every aspect of my life. I'm a healthier and happier individual overall thanks to her guidance. She has the magical ability to provide insight and skills in a way that doesn't feel clinical but is always professional and supportive. She honestly changed my life, and I know she'll continue to do so for others.
There are times life just throws something at us, that we struggle with. We are never too smart or old to talk to a professional for options and different views on how to handle problematic situations. I am Sutton's “fan”. I like the no nonsense approach she has in helping people with respect, kindness and love. Therapists who just listen and let the client struggle with their own conclusions approach has to be in the past. We come for feedback. Also having assisted with electro shock therapy and insulin therapy, to bring people out of a dark hole, made me realize, it pays to get help before we sink ourselves that far. Sutton is most intuitive, extremely talented in getting to the bottom of things by not being fooled by clever smart clients. As I feel we all need to support mental health and not be ashamed of asking for therapy, I want to sign my name. Many thanks to Sutton, Infinite Mindcare, it is essential in these times
"Life is difficult at best but especially these days. Life is full of difficult, emotionally contaging people at work and in our families and always-on work needs produces stress and depression in us.The modern style of counselling is to help recognise these and many other situations, to suggest tools to help and ways of thinking that help in these situations and to practice them when they arise. Once you start to use these 'tools' they defend you against the worst of how life can affect you.This way of counselling has been proven effective scientifically, and may be preferable to medications especially for the younger person for mild or moderate problems. As a local physician I am very comfortable referring my patients to Sutton Burke and her team at Infinite Mind Care to get this evidence based therapy here on island"

FAQs

How can I make an appointment?

To schedule an appointment, we first ask that you complete our intake form and provide us with your insurance and payment information. Once we receive this information, we will confirm your insurance benefits and contact you to schedule the earliest available appointment.

What insurance do you accept?

We accept several Cayman insurances including: Aetna, BAF, Britcay, Cayman First, Cinico, Fidelity/Vanguard, PanAm. If you have overseas insurance such as Cigna, you will need to pay for your sessions out of pocket, however, we can provide you with an invoice with all relevant information to give to your insurance provider for direct reimbursement. In order to use your medical insurance, you must have an outpatient mental health benefit for use on the island. While we verify your insurance benefits and provide you with an estimated breakdown of co-pays, you are ultimately responsible for understanding your own benefits.

Does seeking advice mean something is wrong with me?

No. Many people seek counselling to understand themselves or others, to develop personally, or simply to manage life. As humans, we all experience stressors and difficult emotions. Therapy is a means to learn to develop our functioning skills and build greater resilience, regardless of the circumstances.

What is counseling?

Counseling/therapy involves meeting with a therapist (such as a counselor or psychologist) to address emotional, social, or behavioral concerns. Trained and licensed clinicians work with you to consider a variety of treatments according to your treatment goals. The benefits of therapy are numerous and may include improved mood, personal growth, and interpersonal relationships. Disclaimer: Just because you come to therapy does not mean you will change or improve. The willingness to make changes is ultimately up to the individual. Please remember that we typically only have 1 hour per week in our offices and most of the change happens outside of the therapy room.

Counseling is not about coming to vent for an hour. While we have couches and you can lay down, we do not perform psychoanalysis. Counseling is an active process where the client shares and receives feedback, develops skills, and practices interventions to help in their real life outside of the office. Yes, there are times when people just need to “vent” and feel heard. And we have a space for that, to be sure. We will also encourage change.

How many sessions will I need to achieve my goals?

There is no definitive answer to this until you see your therapist. The average counseling treatment usually lasts 3-6 months, however, each person is unique. Some people come to us and feel like they got what they were looking for in 1-3 sessions. The first few sessions are assessment and getting acquainted. It is important that you feel comfortable with your therapist and the process, and sometimes it takes some people longer than others to feel comfortable.

What is Mindcare?

How we empower our clients and ourselves to create optimal mental health, i.e. healthy mental health habits

The Flower of Life is a sacred geometry believed to hold information about the secrets of all life and is, in essence, a blueprint for all life. Its design symbolizes the interconnectedness of life on Earth from a scientific and ecological standpoint, as the symbol has been found throughout the world since ancient civilizations, as well as in the biology of plant and human life.

At Infinite Mindcare we believe that you hold all the answers and tools within yourself; that you are the expert of your own life. Our job is to help you see that in yourself and to help you actively live it through everything you do in and out of the therapy office.
