Robert Bal - Counsellor and Psychotherapist in Vancouver, BC
I was born and raised in England and am an able-bodied cishet man of colour whose grandparents all entered the world as colonized subjects. I share this with you so that you will know I have had to interrogate and address aspects of my identity that have both caused harm and caused me to be harmed. Our socialization – from within our family systems and the culture at large – can result in very real harms which leave us each with work to do in order to reconnect to our true selves. I’m dedicated to my own ongoing journey. I’m equally dedicated to improving my clinical ability as a therapist and thus my utility to you. In our work together I’ll take an active stance and be as real with you as I humanly can. I’ll invite you to do the same, so that together we can collaborate and find a way to resolve whatever is troubling you. |
It's okay to need a little help. We all do sometimes.
