JOSHUA CYTRYNBAUM COUNSELLING SERVICES
Hi there - and many thanks for the visit. Asking for help and finding a counsellor who is the right fit can be quite the process. Hopefully I can make things a bit easier for you here and help answer questions you might have right off the bat.
Whether you are seeking support because of some sudden shift in circumstance or a longstanding issue that is getting harder and harder to carry, I believe therapy is a unique space that can help people heal and grow and can help carry some of that weight.
In order to help ease any questions or concerns you may have I offer a 20 minute free telephone or virtual consultation to anyone seeking my services. That way we can figure out if it will be a good fit and answer any questions you might have with me directly. To book, please go to the contact section of the website.
MY COUNSELLING APPROACH
My approach to therapy is rooted in person-centred, trauma-informed, intersectional, and holistic approaches. Specifically, I utilize many aspects of Emotion Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Existential Therapy to aid clients.
In less psychobabbly terms, I try to straddle the line between providing insight and tangible tools to aid my clients in reducing their suffering, while also recognizing that we are not automatons whose pain can be completely alleviated by tools alone - and that by solely working to “fix” internal mechanisms, you can oftentimes discount the immense social, societal, historical, and personal histories a person inherits and the trials we have survived. I believe therapy, at its best, is able to hold a space for all of these things in equal measure.
