Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Ribalkin, MA, MA, RP
I am comfortable and have experience working with individuals who hold a Christian perspective and am a Christian myself. I understand how important one's religious views are to their every day functioning and happiness. I hope to help clients to connect with and better understand how their Christian views affect the quality of their lives.
Registered Psychotherapist, Holistic Health Practitioner, Health & Wellness Coach
My approach to Religious Counseling focuses on a holistic theory! One of which seeks the individual's body, mind, and, spirit connection. Exploring what religion means to you? How do you practice religion to help your mental health and lifestyle? How do you identify religion? Where do your Belief Systems, Religion, God, Spirituality, and "Love for Self" come from?
The hurt that is felt is churches can hurt deeply, because of the contradictions involved, that of being a place of love and grace, yet experiencing excruciating pain; I can help with that. I can help you understand that "hurt people hurt people", and that most people in or out of churches are in pain. Call for a fifteen min. consultation.
I offer Christian based counselling which integrates traditional talk therapy with Christian beliefs and practices. I support my clients as they navigate spiritual concerns and everyday life struggles encountered by someone who identifies as Christian.
My approach in Christian counselling is a combination of scripture and biblical teachings with psychotherapy models to help you deal with challenges that come your way. A strong faith that is resilient can provide you with the tools to work through difficult situations and resolve life’s issues.
Depending on your reason for reaching out, we can collaboratively work on ways one can reconnect with God and their faith. We can also look at some coping mechanism, stress-management, problem solving, communication and relationship navigation skills and techniques. As well we can choose a therapy approach that suits your specific needs
