Sean Burns
(he/him)
Hi there! I'm a compassionate therapist dedicated to helping you move toward a healthier, more hopeful future. My own early life experiences have shaped my passion for supporting others, giving me a deep understanding of the challenges children, teens, and families face—especially around conflict, abuse, isolation, and rejection. As well as the long lasting effects these have on adults that did not have the opportunity to address them sooner.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session would focus most heavily on beginning the relationship you, or your child, desire to feel safe and secure. I find this essential to allow you to be open about your experiences and to find the healing you need. This session would also focus on a general overview of what you are currently facing and the goals you wish to accomplish during our time.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
As a male therapist, I strive to be a positive role model for youth and a supportive guide for adults. I challenge traditional gender norms by openly expressing emotions and encourage my clients to do the same. Both as a father and therapist, I value the power of strong, healthy relationships. I believe in providing unconditional support to help foster resilience, security, and healing in both therapy and family life.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My work is centered on children, adolescents, and those impacted by early childhood trauma. With nearly 10 years of experience as a Child/Teen Therapist, I understand the unique challenges young people and families face. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore, heal, and grow.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My educational background is centered on CBT and I have used this approach effectively for the past 6 years. I adapt interventions to meet the understanding of children, teens, and adults. Most often focusing on how to challenge distorted thinking.
Child Parent Psychotherapy
Since starting my private practice in the past year I have utilized this approach for most of my young clients. It has allowed me to gain a deeper insight into the client, the parent's perspective, and the inner workings of the family.
Play Therapy
I have used this strategy for the past 6 years when working with children that have difficulty identifying their emotions, communicating their needs, and understanding their perspective of situations.
Trauma Informed Care
Since moving to private practice and completing extensive training, I heavily emphasizing this style of care. It has allowed for clients to increase their ability to regulate their emotions, understand the sensory memories that trigger their trauma, and approach new learning of past situations.
