Hello! I'm Seandel (Pronounced Shawn-dell). I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My experience ranges from working in a juvenile detention center, drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers, and mental health centers. My diverse experience and education have allowed me to gain knowledge of working with children on the autism spectrum and their families, substance abuse, emotional disturbance, low self esteem, assertiveness training, mood instability, and survivors of sexual assault to name a few.
My therapeutic orientation is reality therapy and choice theory that does not dwell on the past but how to live in the here and now and not allow the past to stunt growth or dictate the future. I want to empower my clients, support them and guide them to develop healthy coping skills and self-discovery.
Life tends to show up whether we are ready or not, and I specialize in helping individuals, families, and groups process and deal with those issues. I understand the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship that is genuine and promotes growth. My ideal client will value my supportive yet direct approach as he or she is ready to make changes in their lives and be the best version of themselves.
Additional areas of focus:Addictions, Relationship issues, Family conflicts, Grief, Intimacy-related issues, Parenting issues, Career difficulties, Bipolar disorder, Coping with life changes, Coaching, Abandonment, Attachment issues, Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Avoidant Personality, Cancer, Commitment Issues, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), Family of Origin Issues, Family Problems, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Mood disorders , Multicultural Concerns, Panic disorder and panic attacks, Personality Disorders, Post-traumatic stress, Prejudice and Discrimination, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), Self-Harm, Self-love, Sex Addiction, Sexual Assault and Abuse, Sexuality, Social anxiety and phobia
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Seandel Aiken. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Seandel has been such a positive part of my life since we began working together last June! She is easy to talk to and open up to which was something I worried about when I first signed up for therapy. I appreciate this but I also greatly appreciate her ability to see challenges I couldn't articulate along with guiding me towards solutions that have helped me begin transforming into the person I truly want to be!

I have appreciated the time spent with Seandel. She helped me to recognize and understand some of the ideas, restrictions, and challenges that I place upon myself (most times without even knowing). She listens and provides different ways to look deeper within to recognize patterns of behaviours and ways to work through things. It was great to have someone make sense of this for me.

Seandel has changed my life. In the months I've worked for her, she really pushed me to push to work through barriers I didn't even know existed. She has made me a better person and helped me heal past traumas in a space that felt space. Every week, I felt a weight lifted off my chest talking to her. I thought I'd never get out of a space I was stuck in for months but she guided and helped me to overcome it!

She is the first therapist that I feel like I can trust 100%. I have been with over 10 therapists and never found someone whom I felt was at my same level. I don't feel pressured and that allows me to open up more. She is kind, understanding, and straightforward.

Seandel and I have worked together for 8 months now, and she is an absolutely wonderful therapist. Seandel is a fantastic listener and provides very insightful and compassionate feedback and suggestions for you to practically work and implement into your life. There have been countless times she has made me laugh and smile when I was in a horrible place, as she has a great sense of humor and a kind, gentle and uplifting presence. Seandel is very warm and inviting and I feel very safe talking to her about all the difficult and sensitive parts of my life, and I feel comfortable to knowing she will not judge and be very understanding. She has been my only support system all this time and has helped me feel less alone in myself, as I don’t have anyone to talk with. She’s very creative with her suggestions always thinking up ways to improve or eradicate issues and it seems she always has a good solution for every trouble. She has helped me so much and I would really recommend her and her approach to anyone. Thank you Seandel.

Since starting counselling with the Better Help app and working with Seandel, I’ve seen a massive improvement in my mental health. I truly can’t say enough positive things about Seandel... it’s been years of me trying to get better, with my anxiety and trauma... and trying to find the right counsellor. And I know it takes time to heal and find the right counsellor, but I finally found the right fit and feel like my healing process just went 10x more quickly. Seandel cares, she understands my needs and knows exactly what we should focus on week to week. I’ve never been happier in my life. It’s amazing how I’ve been working with her remotely this whole time and have seen this much of an impact. You’d think virtual counselling wouldn’t be the same, but I really connect with Seandel, even through a screen. & I also think the Better Help app has so many features & resources and that helps too. I really can’t say enough. Seandel is amazing and my life is forever changed for the better. She’s given me all of the tools I needed to feel comfortable to even stop taking my medication for anxiety/depression.

I must say that I was a bit skeptical about online therapy, but what I found with Seandel was beyond any of my expectations. What I realized through this online experience is that it’s not about being with a therapist in person, but finding the right person who makes you feel comfortable and confident in opening up and Seandel is that person for me. She truly makes me feel that she cares about my well being and puts forth a great deal of thought and time into finding me resources to follow up on our sessions. I highly recommend and respect Seandel for her expertise and for her big heart for helping others.

Seandel has helped me work through some long standing issues in a short amount of time. When I first started therapy I was close to crisis point and struggling to get through the day. Seandel has helped me develop a range of strategies and once I was out of crisis we were able to look at some of the root causes of my issues. She is kind, understanding but straight talking! Exactly what I needed. Having a therapist who understands my personal background has been incredibly beneficial and I like that I have the option to come back to her even after my sessions end.

I have been in contact with Seandel for about two weeks, and I really appreciate her support. My experience has been very helpful as Seandel is friendly, attentive, and professional. She is particularly great, as she does not sugar coat things just so you can hear what you want to hear. Rather, she challenges you to introspect and look at your situation from all angles. This, in my opinion, is the optimal way to provide guidance and help others grow as individuals.

I’ve been talking with Seandel for a few weeks now. I’m 46 and have lived with something that has debilitated my thinking and has wrecked havoc on my life for most of my 46 years. I tried therapy before and could never make the right connection. Seandel has supported me unlike anyone else in the past to finally admit what’s happened to me and to start the healing process. I would have never thought this platform could help and I came to it with hesitation and scepticism. Seandel is a true professional but more important a wonderful human being with an amazing heart and she is genuine in her support. I cannot say enough good things about her professionalism and I highly recommend her. I will continue with my journey to recovery and I feel confident that Seandel is the person to help me get there. Thank you Seandel.

Throughout my life, I have worked with many therapists, counselors, and coaches. Seandel gets me. She understood very quickly where I am at and what seems to be the patterns of behaviors I am experiencing. She is very direct which works well for me.
