Tim Rieck
I have a passion for people and to understand and explore the challenges they face in their lives. My approach to life and life issues is from a compassionate stance. When people feel disconnected from their lives, the goal of therapy is to enable them to explore what is happening, so that they can reconnect with themselves in a way that enhances their well-being.
My therapeutic approach is based on a holistic perspective of the individual – physical, psychological, social, and spiritual – recognizing that each of these plays a part in mental wellness. My approach to therapy is informed by integrating strategies from a range of theories, including: interpersonal, developmental, cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, and systems. Through therapy, the more conscious we become of our unconscious tendencies, the more we are equipped to make better choices and act appropriately. If we do not recognize the negative forces in our psyche, we will continue to project them, and the unconscious awareness will continue.
To be a continuous learner is important in my growth, both personally and professionally, in order to be the best for myself and my clients. I am presently working on a Doctoral Degree in Human Relationships from the Wilfred Laurier University in Waterloo. My educational background is in the study of psychotherapy, spirituality, and theology.
My vocational background includes a practice in clinical therapy, business management, and teaching in a university and college setting. I have had the opportunity to work with The Centre for Family Medicine & Family Health Team (CFFM) and Interfaith Pastoral Counselling Centre, working with individuals, couples, and families.
My professional affiliations are with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
