About me

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.

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!

Seandel’s expertise is greatly appreciated. She has a way of listening and understanding exactly where I am in my healing journey. She provides relevant worksheets to help me work out core issues I have been ignoring. She text me and messages me just to check on me and with inspirational messages . I am truly grateful that she was matched with me as my therapist. Thank you Seandel.

Seandel had me pegged in 15 minutes and through three sessions had made me think more about my 61 years than I could have imagined. She’s wonderful!!
