Licensed Professional Counsellor, M.H., RTC, C.CH T
My approach to counselling is to respect and value the uniqueness of every individual and where they are. I work to support them using creativity, with warmth, understanding and at times, a touch of humour when appropriate.
Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Ribalkin, MA, MA, RP
It is important that individuals feel they are in a safe space where they can explore new ways of thinking and dealing with challenges they encounter. Therapy involves being free to explore one's way of seeing the world, while also finding healthier and more productive ways of responding to what life throws at us . When an individual is open to it, therapy can also involve learning to live more presently.
As a registered psychotherapist, I love using my skills and experience to assist you to tap into your strengths, find meaning and self-compassion, be your best selves in relationships, and live your fullest lives. I would be honoured to support you / your family through life's challenges and transitions.
My philosophy is that the past builds our being through the experiences we had and the lessons we learned. These experiences help to shape our sense of meaning and personal fulfilment through our journey. Therefore, I believe that it is important to explore the past and see how it shapes our experience in relation to ourselves and others. I incorporate this perspective in my work with clients and help to emphasize the power of choice, explore unmet needs and help to explore important areas for boundary setting.
