Hello and welcome! My name is Daniel Baljak. I offer individual and family (2-3 people) counselling services to prospective clients of all ages, backgrounds, and identities. My counselling philosophy is that every person has the internal resources to manage overwhelm, identify achievable goals, create forward momentum, and work towards more joyous and meaningful lives. I believe that this can be achieved through client-centered guidance, where we work together to create a safe space for internal mapping, self-awareness, and healthy processing of emotions and experiences.

I am an Internal Family Systems informed therapist and use “parts work” as a way to help clients structure and make sense of their internal landscape. Parts work encourages us to accept and integrate all thoughts, emotions, feelings, images, body sensations, and dreams through curious, compassionate reflection. When we learn how to explore and understand the sometimes conflicting motivations that our internal parts have, it can lead to increased calmness, clarity, and sense of purpose.
