Sean believes people deserve mental health care that matches the complexity of their lives—care that's transformative, not transactional. Specializing in trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, and life's most difficult transitions, he strives to develop real relationships that meet people carrying their crosses, and walks with them to find the solid foundations that lasting healing and a meaningful life requires. Not just symptom management, but genuine restoration, and purpose.
His approach is solutions-focused and collaborative: two people (or more) working together with honesty, dignity, and a clear path forward. With a master's from Franciscan University and years across outpatient care, rehabilitation, and residential trauma treatment, Sean has seen both the breathtaking potential and frustrating limitations of various models of care. He knows what works, what doesn't, and what's worth fighting to change.
Now he's focused on something larger: reimagining what counseling can actually be.
Along with his business partner Patrick, Sean is building a practice designed to house exceptional clinical talent—a space where Tennessee's best mental health professionals can do their most meaningful work, unencumbered by bureaucratic constraints and productivity pressures. Where clinicians thrive professionally and personally, where excellent care and sustainable practice aren't mutually exclusive.
His vision is to create a new standard for mental health care—one that honors the complexity of human suffering and holds lasting change not just as possible, but as the expectation.
Sean lives in Nashville with his wife Rebecca, their four children—Joanna, Lucy, Maximilian, and Daniel—and their dog Ophelia.
While Sean operates as the clinical director primarily overseeing treatment, therapy modalities, outcomes, and so on, Patrick serves as more of the chief executive officer, overseeing and managing the organization's reach, quality of processes, services, and general direction.
His primary passions are his Missions. He spends his days seeking to maximize the number of people Exodus Counseling can serve and volunteering at the wonderful local Nashville charity, the Heart of Mary House. You can learn more about him here.
