John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counsellor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders are an area I have specialized in for many years. I relate to the challenges clients face as many of the difficulties are ones I have faced myself over a lifetime. Symptoms from tics to intrusive, non-stop thoughts to compulsive acts are familiar. There are proven ways for us to quiet these challenges and I am ready to assist. Depending on the severity and disturbance you are experiencing I may recommend in concert with therapy you consider a psychiatric evaluation to consider whether a medical doctor determines if medication management is indicated as this would be outside my scope.

Heather Macfarlane
Registered Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
OCD is a complex, overwhelming condition but there are proven techniques to help reset your brain and thought patterns to let go of those compulsions because continuing to give in to them only pulls you deeper down. I can provide and understanding, supportive environment for you to tentatively take the steps to challenging those obsessions and compulsions once and for all.

Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I have experience working with adults with OCD, including primarily obsessional presentations often referred to as Pure O. My approach integrates ERP with acceptance-based and self-compassion strategies to help clients respond differently to intrusive thoughts, reduce compulsive patterns and reassurance-seeking, tolerate uncertainty, and relate to themselves with less judgment.

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.
