👋Meet Joshua Dvorkin, MA, RP (Qualifying) a registered psychotherapist under supervised practice, reclamation coach, and the founder of Headway Mental Health. He specializes in helping professionals navigating chronic illness, disability, injury, & major life transitions reclaim their stories, release limiting beliefs, and align with their most authentic selves.
At twenty-nine, Joshua experienced a traumatic spinal cord injury after an epileptic seizure and fall left him paralyzed from the chest down. Despite early medical predictions that he would never breathe or live independently, Joshua defied expectations—rebuilding his life, earning three post-secondary degrees, and establishing two successful businesses. His lived experience, combined with his professional training, gives him a unique ability to meet clients with both expertise and empathy.
Joshua developed Reclamation Coaching, a trauma-informed and narrative-based approach designed to help individuals not only cope with change but also reimagine what is possible. His philosophy, which he calls “resilience without romanticism,” emphasizes authenticity, growth, and the refusal to let adversity define a person’s limits.
Joshua has certifications in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and he is a Certified Complex Trauma Professional. He is also fully trained in hypnotherapy and Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia. Joshua helps people holistically linking how the mind and body operate as one.
In addition to his clinical and coaching work, Joshua has delivered workshops such as “Mind Over Limits: Disability, Identity, and Mental Health” and has served as a mental health consultant in media projects, including the short film Butterfly on a Wheel by two-time Emmy Award-winning composer Trevor Morris.
Grounded, compassionate, and direct, Joshua’s work reflects his belief that what we choose to believe becomes our reality—and that possibility exists even in the most unexpected places.
