Sean Dugan
Hi, my name is Sean. I have 26 years of experience supporting individuals and families through challenges in their lives and relationships. Much of my experience has been with adolescents and families, including adoption, family separation, residential care, court-involved youth, and other stressful life situations. I value building trust and creating a space where clients feel comfortable being themselves. My goal is to meet you where you are while helping you work toward healthier relationships and meaningful change.
First session
Our first session will focus on getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. I respect that everyone opens up at their own pace. You will have space to share what feels comfortable while we begin building trust and identifying what you would like to work on.
Strengths
I bring patience, encouragement, and many years of experience working in challenging situations. I give clients room to move at their own pace while also offering support and gentle challenges when needed. My experience has helped me remain calm and supportive when working with people facing trauma, family separation, relationship difficulties, and other stressful situations.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with clients who are eager to improve their individual social functioning to support them and navigating relationships. Both in terms of family relationships, and their relationships with society. I have worked with many clients who have struggled with on and off incarceration as well as impatient hospitalization. This would include both adults and adolescents. I have a great deal of experience working with state agencies in clinical collateral as well.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients better understand how their thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. Together, we can identify patterns that may be getting in the way and explore practical ways to respond differently. My goal is to help clients build skills that support healthier relationships, greater confidence, and meaningful change.
