Tom Ribar, MSW, LSW

Tom values working side-by-side with clients, joining them in their journey, to help them achieve whole lives that reflect emotional, relational, and vocational health. Tom completed his master’s degree in social work at Carlow University. He is an EMDR therapist. Tom employs a wholistic and eclectic therapeutic approach in his work with clients, including cognitive, psychodynamic, and systems models. He has spent several decades grounding his therapeutic approach in a Christian understanding of personhood and emotional health. Tom is comfortable working with clients who value spirituality, as well as those for whom spirituality or religion are not significant to their pursuit of therapy.

 

Tom brings to his clinical practice a wealth of experience in pastoral care, having served congregations, and young adults in the higher education setting. Tom is interested and experienced in working with individuals, families, and couples. Recent experience has expanded Tom’s clinical focus to include survivors of trauma, and individuals with intellectual
disabilities.
