Individuals choose to seek out therapeutic support for many reasons. Within therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to achieve each person's individually set goals. Therapy can help relieve anxiety that stops you from enjoying everyday activities, assist you in overcoming past challenges and traumas, and introduce strategies so you can relate better to individuals in the present. I provide a safe, non-judgemental, and caring environment in which you can explore the impact of your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships on your daily life and start to change these in order to achieve balance and personal strength.

Do you feel ...overwhelmed? ...numb? ...stressed? ...anxious? ...depressed? ...angry? ...hopeless? ...ashamed? ...lost? ...haunted by the past? ...alone? At times we can become stuck in these painful emotions, and we desperately wish to avoid them. We temporarily block them or distract ourselves only for them to return with a vengeance. Instead, when we turn towards them to hear and heal what is underneath, the painful emotions can be truly transformed. In this way, we can use emotions as a guide and overcome the obstacles in reaching our full potential.

If you are experiencing struggles in your life, therapy can help with resolving challenges and creating strategies for positive change. I bring compassion, warmth and professionalism to my practice. My holistic approach is person-centered and culturally sensitive. With an understanding of past traumas and using an attachment lens, we will find and explore your personal and interpersonal concerns. Collaboratively, we will address the issues and incorporate tools that will help you develop resiliency and move you toward the goal of achieving a healthier version of yourself.

Collaboration is essential in this process of finding a path to your healing. Take the next step and give us a call to see if we can work together. Our office hours are M-F 8am-8pm and Weekends.

Congratulations on taking the first step in working through your issues to increase your wellbeing. My name is Danny Seto and I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Marriage & Family Therapist and Approved Supervisor, and Certified Couples Therapist. I am a caring, empathetic, and understanding individual who will work with you and your loved ones. I offer a client-centered eclectic approach to counselling that uses a variety of modalities (such as CBT, solution- focussed, narrative, play-based therapy, to name just a few). I would enjoy the possibility of working through your needs at your pace.

Working together with each client from a holistic, biopsychosocial, Person-Centred perspective on health and wellness, it is my goal to help you achieve a state of higher wellbeing and grow into the best version of yourself, beginning at the core with your thoughts and feelings.

Establishing therapeutic alliance with my clients is the foundation of my psychotherapy work. I am a strong advocate for cultural competency, and also believe that clients, although experiencing some challenges, are experts in their own lives and are seeking some support and guidance through therapy. Furthermore, I support my clients in exploring issues such as emotional difficulties, stress, relationship difficulties, parenting, self-esteem, and family conflict. I believe in working collaboratively with my clients to explore solutions and coping strategies to overcome these barriers.

A lot of time, our first instinct is to seek support when we may feel we are drowning in our current struggles. The first step is always the hardest, in where we fear we will not be understood. My belief is that because each one of us is unique, our struggles and thus our journey in healing will be too. I aim to be an anchor in these turbulent times and be a beacon of unfiltered, unconditional and non-judgemental space in exploring our internal processes. In collaboration, we can address motivational, acceptance, behavioural, cognitive, social, biological and cultural aspects that can work in tandem in maintaining our struggles.

As we journey through life, unfair things happen. The associated thoughts, feelings and people can stay with us as painful memories, create a sense of burden and influence our future expectations. While we can't change the past, it is under our control to change the way we look at what happened. As challenging events and relationships unfold, we can control how we respond. We do this by becoming more aware of automatic negative reactions and replacing them with healthier thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is possible for you to obtain a new lease on life and to embrace a future filled with things that have seemed out of reach.

The stress of COVID-19 has negatively impacted people’s mental health, while also leaving them in an economic situation where they cannot afford counselling at full prices. We believe that this unique time requires counsellors to give their services at prices which more people can afford. If the stress of COVID-19 has affected your mental health, we have professional counsellors that can work with you.

I have firsthand experience of what it’s like to be in unhealthy relationships and struggle with overwhelming thoughts and feelings. When we don’t feel comfortable to express our emotions and don’t feel safe enough to experience the kind of intimacy we desire, it creates stress, anxiety, anger, and depression, which can lead to issues in our friendships and at work. I have spent nearly a decade seeking out knowledge and understanding about love and relationships. This has led to a deep desire to support others who also long to leave behind their toxic relationships and experience love, safety, connection, and intimacy.

Many people experience difficulty managing their emotions or feel “stuck” in life. Collaboratively, we will work together towards meaningful change. My approach is informed by Emotion-Focused, Cognitive-Behavioural, and Acceptance and Commitment therapies. I provide therapy to teens and adults, with particular expertise in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma/abuse. I have several years of experience working in hospitals, community mental health centres, university counselling centres, and private practice. My style is warm and non-judgemental, priding myself on helping clients feel comfortable, safe, and understood.

Hello, thank you for visiting my profile. Chances are that you may be experiencing some stress, dissatisfaction or disenchantment in your life. These are completely normal facets of the human condition and looking into some outside supports is one step to address these often difficult feelings. I acknowledge that this can be a frightening process and want to assure you that I will meet you where you are at. I have over 8 years of counselling and psychotherapy experience in hospitals, community and government settings. I have helped individuals of different ages, backgrounds and cultural groups with a wide range of difficulties.

If you have persistent doubt or obstacles that prevent you from living life to its fullest, this could be a good time to have a consultation. Choosing a therapist that you feel comfortable talking to is essential. The only way to truly benefit from therapy is to start off feeling understood, respected, and valued. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, pain, stress or interpersonal issues, I will work with you to create a safe and collaborative environment that enables you to experience greater freedom and to explore new possibilities.

Welcome. Working with a therapist provides the opportunity to explore the things that truly matter to you. Through uncovering the stumbling blocks and triggers that prevent you from being the best version of yourself, we will collaborate together to create self-awareness, self-compassion, and self-acceptance - while determining new avenues to accomplish tangible goals that align with your values. Giving consideration to the 'whole' you is an integral part of the therapeutic process – including those aspects that are painful and deeply imbedded, as well as your strengths, resources and aspirations.
