About John Burkin
Over time he learned which approaches helped and which did not, shaping a practice that emphasizes clear goals and practical strategies. He aims to create a welcoming space for both new and returning clients, and during intake he makes it clear that scheduling a first session does not obligate anyone to continue. He invites people to test the fit and to challenge or even "fire" him if the relationship does not feel right, because a productive connection is essential for meaningful work.
He is direct and occasionally uses humor to ease difficult conversations, but he does not sugarcoat challenges or encourage unstructured venting. He asks clients to come prepared to do the work of feeling better, viewing therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client. Those who tend to benefit most are present-focused, open to mindfulness practices, and motivated to heal.
John works with individual adults ages 18 and older on issues such as self-esteem, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive concerns, depression, mood swings, questions of sexual orientation and coming out, and relationship difficulties. Helping clients define and pursue personal goals is a primary focus of his work. His clinical approach is informed by Solution-Focused strategies and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, tools he uses to help clients build practical skills and measurable progress.
He holds LCPC and LPCC credentials, which are state licenses for professional counselors.
