Getting to know Sean Paras
As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in supporting adults facing diverse challenges like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and personality disorders. My approach is grounded in client-centered therapy, which highlights the importance of meeting individuals where they are. Acknowledging the uniqueness of each person, support is tailored by drawing from various theoretical orientations, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodynamic theory, existential humanism, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
Passionate about fostering a welcoming and non-judgmental space, my aim is to empower clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. The ultimate goal is to support individuals on their journey towards mental well-being, aligning the assistance with their specific needs. If you're seeking a compassionate and experienced ally in your mental health journey, I'm here to help.

Sean is great. The session ends too quickly and should last at least 1.5 hours.

Sean is very new to this, so I give him lots of grace! However, he was not prepared for the session and I found myself frustrated that I was paying for a session that was mostly him getting organized. Ultimately he isn't the therapist for me.

That not only did he listen he engaged. That made me feel extremely comfortable. I didn't feel like he was judging me.That he understood everything I was saying.
