Sean Cook, Psy.D.

How I Work

There is no greater display of strength than seeking support when you need it. I am interested in the journey that has taken you to this moment and I will provide a nonjudgmental and collaborative space to explore your story, your feelings, and your hopes for the future. I believe that we are all vulnerable to finding ourselves "stuck" in patterns that don't serve us well. I also believe in every person's ability to lead a fulfilling life and to maintain relationships that are meaningful, trusting, and rewarding.

I am an experienced meditator and meditation instructor, which influences my style and my approach to therapy. I am trained as a Mindful Self-Compassion teacher, and I believe most of us could benefit from training in being a better friend to ourselves.

Couples therapy is my passion.  Much of my professional training has been spent working to develop a map that I can use to guide couples who love one another, but find themselves in cycles of painful disconnection.  I am a certified EFT Couples Therapist.

I have a background as an artist and hold a Masters in Performance Studies from New York University. Through this previous career, I have a special understanding of, and appreciation for, the lives and struggles of creative people, whether they identify as artists or not.

Lastly, I maintain a personal and professional dedication to social justice, and have presented nationally on the subject of applying social justice to clinical work. I work well with clients from a variety of backgrounds and have interest and experience in working with clients who are dealing with oppression, stigma, or discrimination—whether it be related to race, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, age, class, or ability.
