Dr. Deborah Seabrook, PhD MTA RCC
Hi, I'm Deborah (she/her)
When you work with me, you're receiving a unique blend of the highest standards of psychotherapy, clinical counselling, music therapy, and musicianship that I have been developing over the past 20 years.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario (#001849), a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (#17031), a Certified Music Therapist (#0334) with the Canadian Association of Music Therapists, and a recognized Climate Aware Therapist with the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America.
My approach to training is informed by my ongoing experiences with the wonderful professionals and students I have had the fortune to work with. I have provided clinical supervision to over 150 university students, interns, and professionals and have taught music therapy extensively at universities across Canada - most recently at McGill University. I am currently a Music Therapy Research Fellow at Wilfrid Laurier University and Core Faculty in the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University.

What People are Saying
A life changing experience!
"The only way I can describe my experience taking the Music-Integrated Therapy Training Program with Deborah Seabrook is to say it was a life changing therapeutic experience. It is a process that taps into the heart and mind. Not only did I receive basic knowledge of music therapy, but my image of myself musically changed. This is a powerful technique I can use to assist my clients in addressing their mental health needs."
Highly Recommended!
"Thanks to this training, my personal relationship with music shifted positively from performance focused to pure enjoyment. It has opened up new possibilities for me to integrate music to facilitate healing with clients. I highly recommend this training with Deborah!"
Practical Ways to Bring Music Into Counselling!
"Learning about ethical and practical ways to bring music into my counselling has increased my confidence."
In-depth professional development!
The Music-Integrated Therapy Training Program provides in-depth professional development that is very compatible with my clinical approaches as an Expressive Arts Therapist and a Play Therapist. The training helped me reflect in on my relationship with music and my approach to therapy. I learned how to integrate music creatively and safely into my existing practice with all ages of clients and for a variety of presenting issues. The interactive weekly meetings, the thoughtfully prepared workbooks, and the literature and resources offered during this course were stimulating to me as a therapist and as an individual. Deborah is a warm, encouraging, and very experienced teacher.
One of the best trainings I have ever done!
I am extremely pleased with this course and I would say it is one of the best trainings I have ever done. I am a long time musician and a psychodynamic and sensorimotor trained psychotherapist. I have always been curious about bring music to my psychotherapy work but got a bit stuck around how to blend what I thought were two different therapeutic approaches. This course really offers a process of integrating music into your own way of working. This course unfolds in a way that you discuss your own way of working and then explore possible music experiments and interventions to enhance your therapeutic aim. I found this course has built up my confidence with offering music as an intervention. Deborah brings such a warm, inviting and encouraging approach to the sessions which has made it truly a delight to experience. Highly recommended!
