I’m Sean Bourgeoise, a licensed therapist with a Master’s in Psychology. I specialize in helping adults and young professionals work through problem gambling, substance use, and anxiety. My style is supportive, practical, and focused on helping you build insight and create meaningful change.

I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor based in Massachusetts, and I work with teens through adults through virtual therapy. In addition to my clinical experience writing assessments for a juvenile facility, I bring a background in education and business to my work. I’m drawn to therapy because of the meaningful relationships it creates and the opportunity to help people move toward their goals. My hope is to offer a warm, supportive space where you feel heard and understood.

Hello! I’m a licensed mental health counselor who truly cares about creating a safe, supportive space where people feel comfortable being themselves. I work with individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, parent/child concerns, and many of life’s difficult transitions.

I understand that starting therapy can feel overwhelming. Opening up about painful or uncomfortable parts of your life takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. I’ve dedicated myself to learning the skills needed to walk alongside people during these moments, at a pace that feels right for them. For me, this work is more than a career — it’s a calling.

Is your experience with pregnancy, postpartum, or parenthood not going as you thought it might? Or are you finding the transition to motherhood stressful and life changing? Though it can be joyful, it can also be a vulnerable time filled with overwhelming stress, worry, sadness, or even grief. If this sounds at all like you, please know I am here to help.

Want to make the most of your life, but something keeps getting in the way?

I work with thoughtful, high-energy adults who feel held back by patterns they can’t seem to break—whether that’s anxiety, addiction, trauma, self-criticism, relationship difficulties, depression, or persistent overthinking. Stop letting your lizard brain run the show.

Together, we’ll identify the emotional and behavioral patterns that no longer serve you, understand where they came from, and develop practical ways to move forward. My goal is not simply symptom reduction, but helping you create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and fully your own.

I have over 25 years of clinical work experience with adolescents, young adults, and adults of diverse backgrounds. My extensive experience working with adolescents, inspires me to work with youth who may be struggling in ways that their caretakers find overwhelming. Additionally, I have helped parents/caretakers to better manage family life and improve their relationships with their children during difficult times. Each person deserves support so that they can navigate home life and the outside world successfully. My only request is to have hope!

We all face challenges and difficulties in our lives. While we generally cope, there are times when emotional distress needs informed guidance. Depression, anxiety, and other behavioral issues are real illnesses. That's where a professional such as myself can step in to guide you through recovery to wellness. I graduated from Harvard Medical School and trained at the University of Pennsylvania. I work as your partner to explore your needs, wishes, fears, and pain, We will develop a plan of treatment and recovery. Together we will help you move to a better place.

I am a licensed mental health counselor with 6 years experience in outpatient therapy, school based therapy, and emergency mental health services.
