Lights of Grace Psychotherapy Inc. - Empowering Individuals toward Healing and Happiness

I'm Joe Seymond, the Owner and CEO of Lights of Grace Psychotherapy Inc. With over 25 years of experience in addiction and mental health counseling, my passion lies in empowering individuals to overcome challenges and rediscover hope. At Lights of Grace Psychotherapy Inc., our mission is to break the chains of depression, addiction, and mental health stigma, allowing you to reclaim your inner spark and nurture a healthy lifestyle.
My personal journey into this field began when I achieved sobriety on October 24, 1990, through a transformative 12-step program. This profound experience ignited a deep passion within me to empower others on their path to recovery. In 1994, I embarked on my counseling journey at an Indigenous homeless shelter, drawing inspiration from my Anishinabe First Nations Algonquin heritage. Since then, I have worked in various treatment centers, homeless shelters, withdrawal management, and harm reduction centers, accumulating invaluable experience.
I have achieved significant milestones, including earning a Human Service Counselling Diploma from George Brown College, and a BA from the University of Toronto, and currently pursuing a Master's (IP) in Spiritual Care Psychotherapy. Beyond my professional pursuits, I enjoy martial arts, immersing myself in a good book, cherishing quality time with my fiance, and attending major sporting events.
Our Mission
My mission is to empower individuals to overcome challenges, find hope, and live happy, fulfilling lives. I strive to provide a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their inner strengths and develop effective coping strategies. Through evidence-based interventions and personalized care, I aim to help individuals break free from the shackles of addiction, depression, and mental health stigma.
