Sean Smith, LMSW

As your psychotherapist, we can use an eclectic approach that combines the mind, body, spirit, and external world. Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy are, we’ll treat it with non-judgement, love, and an expansive mindset. Often we mistake symptoms or challenges as something bad or something to fight, while they’re actually trying to help us - calling our attention to the lessons and corrections that ultimately lead to greater self-actualization and self-expression. Be not afraid, we’ll go at your pace and where you want to go. Your truth will be our guide. By taking the step of seeking assistance, the power is already back in your hands. Let’s accept the invitation to grow, or simply start with having one better day.

About Me

I earned a Master of Social Work degree from New York University and currently am a Licensed Master Social Worker. I continue additional study in somatic therapy, men’s issues, sexual trauma healing, and psychospirituality, although I am open to all cases and not limited to these. Professionally, I have worked in outpatient mental health with a wide range of mental illnesses, as well as in a hospital with a wide range of physical illnesses. My hobbies include creating music, surfing, and working with animals.
