Ronald Burkins, MS, APCC

Ronald Burkins, MS, is an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor.  He earned his Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pittsburgh and completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with a minor in Human Services at the University of Central Florida.

 

Ronald’s interest in mental health began with a desire to better understand how early life experiences, family systems, and underserved needs impact emotional well-being. During his clinical training, Ronald worked with children and adolescents in both Intensive Outpatient (IOP) group settings and Individual Outpatient therapy, focusing primarily on youth under the age of 18 with moderate-severe presenting Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Prior to this experience, Ronald had limited exposure to OCD, but through his clinical work, he came to understand the significant challenges it presents for individuals and families, as well as the scarcity of specialized resources available. This understanding led to a strong professional passion for supporting this community and helping bridge the gap in OCD care.

 

Ronald is committed to creating a warm, collaborative therapeutic environment and empowering his clients with evidence-based tools to navigate their unique journeys. He is especially passionate about supporting children and adolescents with anxiety-related disorders and aims to help his clients build meaningful progress toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.
