Meet our interns
Seamus Sullivan is a clinical counselling intern in his final year of City University’s Master of Counselling program. Combining analytical insight with heartfelt empathy, he offers a calm, curious, and warm presence in his sessions. His approach is shaped by decades of social services work, where he engaged with diverse people, communities, perspectives, and experiences.
With a keen ability to embrace nuance, Seamus skillfully navigates the complexities of human experience, viewing life and its challenges through a "both/and" rather than an "either/or" lens. He welcomes all emotions and thoughts into the therapeutic space, no matter how dark, intense, unconventional, ambivalent, confusing, or even silly they may seem.
Originally from the Maritimes, Seamus integrates playfulness and humour into therapy, recognizing their healing potential. He believes that thoughts, emotions, and the body can all serve as portals for transformation. This fall, Seamus will be completing his EMDR basic training.
Daniel Gorodetsky is a Graduate Counselling Intern currently completing his Master of Counselling at City University. He welcomes clients with various goals, whether that be navigating anxiety, depression, grief, stress, life transitions, trauma, or other factors. Working through a client-centred, integrative approach, he prioritizes collaboration with clients. Techniques can include elements of Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and more.
Daniel has a background in theatre and comedy performance, and for over a decade he has worked with teens through improvised theatre. This is how he developed his commitment to collaboration, humour, active listening, storytelling, and play. Having grown up as part of an immigrant family in Burnaby, Daniel feels connected to the Lower Mainland while being familiar with many of the difficulties that come with being a newcomer. He loves this city but knows it can be a hard place to be comfortable, and he is excited to work with folks from diverse backgrounds and experiences in helping them overcome some of the challenges they face.
Most of all, he is excited to connect with people and learn more about their unique journey. Being entrusted with your innermost thoughts is not something he takes lightly, and he will work hard to provide support that is right for you.
