Professional Background

Gary Trosclair, an experienced psychotherapist and Jungian psychoanalyst with three decades of practice in New York City and Westchester County, New York, is known for his pragmatic yet depth-oriented approach to clinical work. With a focus on fostering psychological depth, resilience, and authenticity, Trosclair aims to cultivate meaningful change and improve relationships, leading to a profound sense of fulfillment for his clients.

In his therapeutic practice, Trosclair emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying meaning and purpose behind symptoms, believing that true transformation occurs when individuals uncover the unconscious motives driving their behaviors. By integrating various aspects of the personality and addressing different needs and motivations, he helps clients navigate challenges and embark on a journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.

Trosclair’s therapeutic philosophy centers on empowering clients to harness their innate energy and talents in pursuit of passion, love, and purpose, rather than being driven by fear. While he offers support for a wide range of conditions, including obsessive-compulsive personality, perfectionism, Type-A personality traits, and midlife transitions, his overarching goal remains the same: to guide individuals towards a more fulfilling and authentic life path.
