Sebastian Kowalik, Registered Psychotherapist
My path leading up to the practice of psychotherapy was a long journey of self exploration, challenges, resilience and positive changes.
With over 20 years of professional experience in the fast-paced corporate world I developed a deep understanding of the various stressors and challenges presented by demanding careers in large organizations and how these challenges can impact one’s personal life, health and relationships.
It was some of the stresses in my own career and life circumstances that led me to further explore what it was that I wanted from life and what might contribute to my feelings of well being and overall health.
This striving towards health and balance led me to the practice of meditation, mindfulness and yoga. After years of practice in two meditation traditions and multiple teacher trainings in the art of yoga, I began to expand my practice by teaching mindfulness, yoga and partner yoga to others including those in the corporate space.
In this ongoing pursuit of positive change and self awareness I began to understand how important our mental health, emotional well being and positive relationships are to a healthy and balanced life. This drew me to pursue the practice of psychotherapy.
After years of study, I completed my psychotherapy training and have been offering individual psychotherapy, couples therapy and group therapy in a way which integrates all my life experiences and learnings in the hopes of supporting other’s own journeys towards well being, mental health and loving relationships.
