Danny Seto

Registered Psychotherapist and Registered Marriage & Family Therapist in Richmond Hill

I am a very empathic , caring, understanding, and patient individual. I work with clients from a person-centered approach and am well-versed in a variety of modalities and techniques so that the treatment plan can be catered to your individual needs. I am destined to help you (and/or your partner/family) in your journey towards healing by being able to cope with the struggles you may be experiencing. By working with me, I am hopeful that you will be able to draw upon your own experiences (just like I did) in order to bring your life back into homeostasis.

In addition to being a member in good standing with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and a Clinical Fellow and Approved Supervisor of the American and Canadian Associations of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT/CAMFT), I am also a Certified Couples and Family Therapist through the Ontario Association of Marriage and Family Therapist (OAMFT). In addition, I am a Certified Play Therapist and Supervisor and an EMDR Therapist.

As a professional “lifelong” learner, I have many designations and years of experience in the healthcare fields as well as in the education of individuals. I am very eclectic in my approach to therapy and approach each client in a unique fashion as I do not believe in the “one-size-fits-all” model. For those who are interested in receiving supervision and/or consultation, I do offer individual, dyadic, and group supervision where we can discuss your client cases and offer suggestions regarding your clients. In addition, I offer supervision of supervision for supervisors (in which we discuss issues relating to your intern students and supervisees).

 

 

Juanna Nguyen

Administrative Assistant & Music Therapist Accredited (MTA)

I am a Certified Music Therapist and a Registered Psychotherapist. I joined Danny Seto’s private practice as a practicum student in September 2020 and I completed my placement under his supervision in May 2021. Since June 2021, I have continued at Danny’s practice as an independent contractor. Currently, I am working as a clinic director while continuing to see my own clients. At this moment, I offer virtual individual counselling. 

I have experience working with children, adults, couples, and families. I have employed music-based interventions including therapeutic songwriting, music improvisation, and guided meditation with music, followed by verbal processing and reflection. I use a person-centered and strengths-based approach with an interest in mindfulness-based practices and the principle of non-judging.

 I also have developed an interest in counselling-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Family Systems. Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which can aid in alleviating emotional distress. I believe in providing and facilitating a safe space for others to define and gain insight into their own experiences. I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process in which I strive to understand and support my client while we work together to create a plan for therapy.
