I work over Zoom and in person in the Gramercy area of Manhattan.
My work and training have provided me with a deep understanding of complex family and relationship dynamics. I provide a working environment that is calm, empathetic, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I am a parent, pet owner and classical musician.
I am a board-certified Nurse Practitioner with more than 10 years of experience caring for adult patients across a variety of healthcare settings.

Hi there! I'm Dr. Sean. I help people break out of vicious cycles and build a life they love to live.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over twenty five years of experience helping adults navigate relationship challenges, anxiety, depression, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and the complexities that arise throughout different stages of life. I also treat clients who are interested in personal growth and development. My practice is designed for individuals who are seeking thoughtful, personalized therapy and who value a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.
As a clinician, I believe that one of the most important components of psychotherapy is having an atmosphere which is supportive, patient, validating and compassionate. I approach my patients with integrity and a commitment to help you create a higher quality of life that resonates with your authentic self. I believe that meaningful change occurs within the context of a strong therapeutic relationship. I offer a warm, attentive, and collaborative space where clients can slow down, reflect, and explore patterns that may be keeping them stuck. Together, we work to uncover underlying issues, build insight, and develop lasting strategies for growth and emotional well-being.
My approach is integrative and tailored to the unique needs of each client. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, I take the time to understand your history, strengths, values, and goals. Whether you are facing a current challenge, navigating a major life transition, or seeking greater fulfillment in your personal relationships, therapy can provide an opportunity for meaningful and lasting change. I help clients gain clarity, strengthen resilience, and create more authentic and satisfying lives.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in New York
Searching for couples therapists in New York starts with what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Needs and available therapists can vary across urban and rural parts of New York, so it helps to look for training that matches your situation. Some therapists are licensed marriage and family therapists, and others list specific couples approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their profiles.
Finding one therapist who works for both partners can take more coordination than an individual search. In New York City, Buffalo, Albany, and other parts of the state, consider whether in-person sessions or virtual appointments fit both schedules. You may also want to compare appointment availability, session structure, and whether a therapist offers a brief initial consultation to assess fit for couples. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they describe their role, communication style, and experience with relationship concerns before you book.
The cost of couples therapy in New York can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your location and plan. Browse New York couples therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
