Sean McEwen

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have several years of experience working in different settings with a wide range of clients. I approach therapy from a collaborative and depth oriented approach. Therapy is a relationship that requires genuineness from both the clinician and the person seeking services. I work with clients to establish a strong foundational relationship that will then allow us to explore and uncover the things that have led to where my clients find themselves today. My goal is to create a relationship and environment where my clients feel they can look at the difficult areas of their life and understand the inner workings of experiences, relationships, and personal dynamics that influence the current state they find themselves in. It is important to me that the therapeutic process is an honest one, even in the times that honesty is not the easiest choice. To support this, I bring understanding and compassion to sessions in an effort to build the supportive environment people need to grow. To be successful in therapy, I encourage patients to take chances to try something new when other strategies don't seem to be working. I encourage vulnerability in sessions but also offer the grace people need to take the risk of being their true and vulnerable selves. In addition to supporting clients in understanding themselves more thoroughly, I integrate principles of DBT to aid in developing healthy coping skills.

I am originally from Oregon but had the privilege of moving to Minnesota in 2020. During my time in Oregon and Minnesota, I have gained several years of experience working with children and their families, in residential and inpatient mental health treatment serving adults, and in the legal system providing evaluation and treatment to individuals with legal involvement. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of diagnoses including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. In my free time I enjoy camping, fishing, and Minnesota sports.
