Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Ribalkin, MA, MA, RP
I have experience helping adolescents who struggle with self-image and self-esteem issues. I offer a compassionate approach while assisting adolescents to learn healthier ways of building there sense of self-worth and confidence.
It doesn't matter how close we are to our family, friends or teachers, being a child or adolescent can be challenging at times. Therapy can provide a comfortable space for children and adolescents to explore the challenges they may be experiencing.
While I do not work with youth under the age of 16, our clinic has many child and family therapists who are availability to schedule a free consultation. Since children are often impacted by family dynamics, we often find the most effective way to work with children, ages 6-11, is within the context of family therapy.

As an accredited music therapist, I use music and other creative approaches to help children and teens with a variety of challenges. These approaches help young clients engage in therapy and express themselves in ways that are natural with their development.
Adolescence can be a challenging time with so many changes that it can feel difficult to find your balance. In my work with youth, I always meet people where they are at and provide an environment where they can feel safe to explore concerns at a pace that is comfortable for them. I work from a client-centered and collaborative perspective, focusing on the challenges and goals that are important to you. Reach out today to learn more about my approach and your journey to healing.

If you are a teen (or the parent of a teen) struggling with high self-criticism or perfectionism, anxiety, low mood, strain to peer relationships or friendships, difficulties in feeling heard or understood in your family, difficulties asserting yourself or setting boundaries, difficulties identifying your emotions or supporting yourself through difficult experiences, or struggling to attain academic or personal goals, I may be a good fit for you. Please feel free to reach out for a free consult.
Parenting is one of life’s most important roles, yet there are no prerequisites or qualifications required. The demands of being a parent may lead to burnout, anxiety, depression and it all affect our ability to be effective caregivers and leader to our children. With wide experience working in the school system, implementing youth sports and mental health programs, and as a parent of pre-teens myself, I strive to help caregivers feel supported and confident through compassion, communication skills development, value identification and boundary setting to tackle their child or adolescent issues.
