SEAN MCGRAW MA LPC LMHC
Specializing in treating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma in NY, NJ, and MI.
Hi, I'm Sean.
The idea of opening up to a complete stranger with your deepest thoughts, feelings, and emotions can be overwhelming, challenging, and just plain weird. Luckily, therapy has a pretty good reputation when it comes to long-term sustained change. Science even says so! If this is our first time meeting, therapy usually begins by us meeting weekly until we understand your needs, and desired outcomes. From there we may continue weekly, drop down to biweekly, monthly, or as needed, depending on where you are in your therapy journey. Sound cool? Okay, keep reading.
I primarily work with adolescents and adults. I am particularly interested in mood disorders, anxiety, relational issues, life transitions, complex trauma, adult ADHD, SSRI/benzo withdrawal, and those who are trying to figure out who they are. I have found people who find me tend to be artistic, progressive in their thinking, innovative, and questioning of the status quo.
I strive to focus on the therapeutic relationship as the relationship between the therapist and client has been shown to be the most important factor in determining the client's success. I use a variety of techniques and am eclectic in my approach but primarily operate from a psychodynamic lens. You can expect a warm and validating environment filled with honesty, humor, bluntness when necessary, exploration, creativity, and genuineness.
I've worked with people from all kinds of racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, and thoroughly enjoy doing so. I am accepting new clients in Michigan, New York and New Jersey.
Services & Fees
I conduct my sessions via telehealth in NY, NJ, and MI. Sessions are 50 minutes and currently $175 per session. I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, United, Priority, and Aetna.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation, so please reach out if you’d like to see if I am a good fit for you.
About Sean
I decided to become a therapist after years of working in jobs I found unfulfilling and uninspiring. I have spent time in retail, marketing, carpentry, office administration, and non-profit work. So yes, I have some experience. This led to heavy self-exploration to find where I would happily fit in the working world. As it turns out, being a therapist aligns perfectly with my personality type.
I have worked with a variety of populations, such as adults with persistent and severe mental illness, teenagers, college students at a university, LGBTQIA+, and seniors. I now primarily work with young professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, and those who have “strayed” away from a traditional life.
