ROBERT BAL, MA, RCC
Supporting Individual Adults
Feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, or difficult relationships? You don’t have to face it alone.
I’m Robert Bal, a Registered Clinical Counsellor who specializes in helping adults work through challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, compulsivity, addiction, and self-criticism. I also have a strong commitment to supporting clients from marginalized and racialized communities, as well as men seeking to reconnect with their emotional wellbeing.
Are you experiencing:
Inner struggles you don’t fully understand or feel powerless to change?
Self-critical thoughts or feelings of being trapped in repetitive patterns?
Challenges in your relationships with others or yourself?
A desire to break free from self-defeating cycles and live authentically?
Therapy is a courageous step — a powerful act of valuing yourself.
I’m here to walk alongside you with honesty, openness, and active engagement. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your struggles and work towards healing that leads to greater freedom, resilience, and self-compassion.
My approach centers on Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), a powerful, evidence-based method focused on uncovering and processing the hidden, painful emotions we often avoid — emotions that disconnect us from ourselves and cause distress. Through this work, you can reconnect with your internal experience and develop healthier, more adaptive ways to respond to life’s challenges.
