Sean Michael Stewart
Psychotherapist, LCSW
I'm Sean, a clinical psychotherapist with 17 years of walking alongside people in some of the toughest and most beautiful moments of their lives.
I started out as a social worker on the streets and in crisis centers, where I learned that real change rarely happens on paper; it happens in the raw, honest contact between two human beings.
That early fire never left me. After years of frontline work I trained deeply in psychodynamic therapy (to listen to the stories the unconscious keeps telling), in CBT and schema therapy (to give the mind clear, workable tools), and in Rational-Emotive & Cognitive-Behavioral methods (because sometimes we simply need to cut through the noise and choose differently, now).
I bring all of that into the room, but I don’t hide behind any single label.
Some days we dive into the echoes of the past, other days we stay fiercely in the present and change the pattern today.
What never changes is this: I meet you as you are, without judgment, with curiosity, and with a quiet confidence that you already carry everything you need to live a freer, richer life.
Anxiety that keeps you small, relationships that hurt more than they heal, old wounds that still steer the ship, depression, burnout, or the simple feeling that “there has to be more than this”; whatever it is, we’ll face it together, at your pace, with whatever approach serves you best in this moment.
Fourteen years have taught me one thing above all: when someone feels truly seen and not alone, something shifts. That shift has already started the second you opened this page.
Whenever you’re ready, I’m here. With respect and a little mischief,

How I work
I use an integrative approach, depending on what best supports you, drawing from psychodynamic, CBT, REBT, motivational interviewing, and Gestalt therapy. This allows us to meet you where you are —exploring both deeper patterns and present experiences, while supporting practical change and greater self-awareness.
What Happens in Therapy
There’s no one “right” way to be in therapy. You can come as you are—whether you have something specific to talk about or just a sense that something doesn’t feel right. Together, we slow things down, make space for what’s present, and support you in finding your own clarity, direction, and way forward.
Sessions & Fees
Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes. I offer first time, 20-minute intake session for free where you have an opportunity to get answers on your questions related to sessions. Fees and payment options, including insurances I cover, will be discussed openly at the beginning, so you know what to expect.
