Hi there! Reaching out for help takes courage. I am glad you are here! My name is Sean Blade. I am a clinical mental health counselor licensed in Florida and Maryland. I have a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida International University. I have spent much of my career, to this point, working with a highly diverse population, including BIPOC, immigrants, and the LGBTQIA+ community.
My approach to counseling is a combination of Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. However, I never stray far away from the ultimate goal of healing your heart. I believe that the relationship I build with those I work with is the most important factor to growth. I bring with me a unique and unusually wide-ranging array of personal experiences that allow me to connect with others in a warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic way. I am honored when people choose to share their pain with me and allow me to walk with them on their journey.

Sean Blade is one of the most supportive and compassionate people I've ever met. His ability to listen with care and validate my emotions without judgment is something I've never found in a therapist before Sean. He has helped me work through so many areas of my life that needed my attention and acceptance. His expertise has been so helpful in guiding me to find answers and support for some of the most difficult things have happened and are happening in my life. The tools provided to me by Sean have helped me navigate the whirlwind of emotions I feel on a daily basis. I'm beyond grateful for Sean and cannot recommend him enough to anyone who is struggling and in need of support.

Sean is very receptive and actually listens to everything before offering any feedback. He is always encouraging and uplifting without being condescending. He challenges you to believe in yourself and what you are capable of in each moment.

Sean is the best therapist I've worked with; I'm very appreciative to Betterhelp for such a well-laid out pairing system that was spot on the first try. Sean has been a significant part of my processing and growth over the past few months with the many many changes and pivots in my world right now. He is fully engaged, attentive, and empathetic and meets me where I am emotionally that day. He does a great job allowing for the uncomfortable & the sad while also helping to navigate through anger & confusion when necessary. He is a true gift.

Sean’s the best! He listens, dives deep into how you, challenges you to think differently, and provides different perspectives than your own. He doesn’t try to force a solution to fix, but helps you try to understand why you may feel what you feel. Highly recommend Sean!

Sean has a keen sense while being an excellent listener-he remembers details about my world I forget I’ve shared, providing insight and validation which is my main purpose here, I need one to testify back to me how I am doing through my tough trial at this time, he understands me more than any other therapist has, which speaks volumes, I have not had to once remind him of anything about me-the attitude he brings each time is most valuable, and this is truly a gift to me at this time that is priceless-the weight of its effectiveness has been a tremendous help. I don’t need any other type of therapy more-I am very grateful for Betterhelp for connecting me to one that gets me and can truly be of real assistance. And I tell everyone about the discount, during these challenges it is a tremendous help as well!! Sean is seriously the best counsel I’ve had to date. Amazing!

I like that Sean addresses me by my name and I only had to pronounce my name once. His smile is always welcoming, I'm comfortable sharing with him. In my first session, he knew exactly what I was struggling with and he assigned me homework. He provides great feedback. I'm glad I was matched with him :).

Sean is an excellent counselor. As a person working in the mental health field as well, I knew I needed someone to help me along the way. Sean was a great person to talk to and help me understand and process things I have experienced. I felt safe, accepted, listened to, and had a genuine connection.
