LORI SEELEY, BSc(OT), BSW, MSW, RSW
CLINICAL DIRECTOR/ COUNSELLOR/ REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER
I trained as a Clinical Social Worker, after a career as an Occupational Therapist working with pediatric, neurology, older adult and mental health clients. I have an extensive background in trauma informed practice and have worked in urban, rural and indigenous communities.
I started TherapyWorks after a search for services for a family member. I wanted services that did not align with behavioural analysis approaches (ABA) and recognized my family member's strengths, abundant personality and unique and creative ways of learning. What I wanted for him I was able to support for others. I believe in a family based practice, where clients can feel comfortable involving their important support people in their therapy process, but still have all the confidentiality they need to heal and move forward. TherapyWorks has grown over the years, and we now include a number of clinicians and support staff who provide assistance for a broad range of therapy and counselling needs.

Sahil Thandi
Hi! I'm Sahil, an Administrative Assistant at TherapyWorks! I'm also excited to step into the role of Intake Coordinator for the team.
I’m absolutely delighted to be part of this wonderful team, supporting our talented therapists and facilitators and the incredible work they do. I take pride in making sure everything behind the scenes runs smoothly so our clients always receive the best care possible—it’s a joy to be part of something so meaningful!
In addition to my role here, I’m also pursuing a PhD in Clinical Psychology. My curiosity about how the brain shapes who we are fuels my passion for learning, and it is incredibly exciting to bring what I’m studying into the work we do at TherapyWorks.
Outside of work and school, you’ll likely find me curled up with a great book, savouring the sound of rain, or soaking in the sun at the beach. I also practice martial arts to stay centered, and I’m always exploring new hobbies or learning new languages—there’s something magical about always discovering something new!
