My M.A. program was in Counselling and Spiritualty. I believe that we are spiritual beings and that it is important for each of us to internalize a sense of meaning and purpose in life. While I am comfortable working with people of various faiths, I do not believe that religion is a prerequisite for developing a sense of spirituality.
Utilizing existential therapy, I encourage clients to confront the fundamental questions of existence, such as meaning, choice, and mortality, helping them to navigate life's uncertainties with greater clarity and purpose. This approach fosters a deepened self-awareness and personal responsibility, empowering individuals to live more authentically. I love going deep and it is a wonderful journey to go on.
Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Ribalkin, MA, MA, RP
I have a background in spiritual care and psychotherapy and am very interested and comfortable with exploring spirituality with clients who are open to and interested in this. I understand the benefits spirituality can have in psychotherapy and am happy to help individuals to connect with their own inner spiritual resources as well exploring possible new areas of interest.
Spiritual work is about aligning one's character and purpose with the larger parts of life. Often spirituality shows up when one is selflessly doing good for others. Spiritual therapy helps the client create a more meaningful and meaning-filled life.
