Sean Copeland, LCSW
I’ve spent my entire career working as a morning radio host and even though I fancied myself a professional communicator, something in that department felt lacking in my relationships. I’ve had amazing teachers in the broadcast world, but no one ever taught me how to best communicate with romantic partners and in other interpersonal relationships. I bounced around to a few therapists until I found one with whom I really connected. I started doing work on myself – learning about past wounds and how they were shaping the way I was showing up present day for partners, friends, family, and even coworkers.
By the time I met Andy, I was a full on Imago Therapy “groupie.” There are many approaches to relationship therapy and this is one I came to really believe in. It offers a framework for healing communication, it helps create safety, stir passion, and helps you to understand and be understood. I believe relationships are the most powerful vehicle for growth in our lives. They can help you become the best version of yourself. Andy and I are now happily married and have co-created a relationship with more joy, laughter, and empathy than either of us could have ever imagined.
At some point, I loved this work so much that I thought “Why not do it for a living?” So, I went back to school to complete a master’s degree and become a certified Imago therapist. I am also certified in EMDR - a highly effective, evidence based trauma therapy.
In addition to couples, I also love working with individuals who have anxiety, depression, trauma, general life change, and a hunger for growth in their life. If you’re ready to invest in yourself and do the work, I’d be honored to work alongside you.
