Gary Trosclair, DMA, LCSW, is a psychotherapist and Jungian analyst with 30 years of experience practicing in New York City and Westchester County. He is the founder of The Healthy Compulsive Project, which includes a book, blog, and podcast using Jung's concept of teleology and a prospective approach to understand obsessive-compulsive personality and help perfectionists move toward wholeness. He holds a dual background in music and clinical social work, with a DMA from SUNY Stony Brook, a Master of Music from Yale School of Music, and an MSW from New York University.

Trosclair has served as President of the New York Association of Analytical Psychology (NYAAP) and as Director of Training at the Jung Institute.
