Written by D.A. on Aug 01, 2022 after therapy with Sean for 2 weeks on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and trauma and abuse

I’ve only been in therapy with him for a few weeks now but so far he seems great. He listens well and his actions and responses prove that. He is not old fashioned which is key for me because he is open minded.

Written by D.E. on Jul 09, 2022 after therapy with Sean for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, coaching, and adhd

Dr. Spelgatti has been really great to work with. Working with the texting platform to communicate is great for me so I can write down any issue I’m having in real time as it arises instead of waiting for a weekly appointment. He is thoughtful, positive and wholistic in his approach. He makes useful suggestions and offers new perspectives for problems I am facing. I would recommend Dr. Spelgatti to anyone who is ready to challenge themselves for personal growth.

I've never been to a therapist before, but Dr.Spelgatti has been a tremendous help! He doesn't overestimate or underestimate me. I set the bar. It's nice to enter a conversation without having yet another pile of expectations put on me❤ This has helped me to untangle the areas of my life that I can and not be afraid to ask him for help or suggestions when I'm feeling stuck. Dr. Sean is one of the good ones!

Written by J.A. on May 25, 2022 after therapy with Sean for 5 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, parenting issues, and adhd

I have nothing but good things to say about my time working with Sean. He is a great resource for me; never judgmental and willing to listen objectively. He asks thought provoking questions that helped me to breakdown and understand my thoughts and emotions. Through open and honest dialogue I have been able to better understand myself and he provided me with the tool I need to manage my expectations of myself and those around me. I appreciate the open relationship we've been able to develop. I would highly recommend Sean to others working through the same struggles that I have had.

I've worked with Dr. Spelgatti for almost 6 months now and feel like I have enough experience with him to say what kind of counselor he is. He is detail oriented, empathetic, a great listener and provides solution focused guidance. He is experienced and addresses the whole person. I highly recommend him.
