About Sean
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read this 🙂
My name is Dr. Sean Spelgatti. I am a Nationally Board Certified Counselor with a PhD in Counseling, Approved Clinical Supervisor credential, as well as being a State Licensed Professional Counselor.
I have intentionally diversified my experiences during my master’s and doctoral-level internships in an effort to be a well-rounded thorough holistic, metacognitive and integrative therapist.
The majority of my clinical experience has been in the outpatient mental health setting working with kids, families, couples, individuals, groups, and more. I am a published psychological researcher with a mind for solving problems in the most efficient and comprehensive manner possible. I strive to consider every angle and reach optimal well-being through a comprehensive and whole-person-centered approach.
Lastly, I am a compassionate great listener who is very adaptable, and am great at finding solutions and seeing through layers to efficiently but also thoroughly support you. Thank you again for taking the time to read this, I would be happy to be on YOUR team 🙂

- “Dr. Spelgatti is truly the best counselor I have ever had. His professionalism, intelligence, compassion, and genuine dedication to helping others are unmatched. He is a God-fearing man who leads with integrity, wisdom, patience, and kindness.<br /> <br /> From the very beginning, it was clear that Dr. Spelgatti does not view counseling as simply a job—he truly cares about the people he serves and is deeply committed to helping them heal, grow, and become stronger. He listens without judgment, provides thoughtful and practical guidance, and has an incredible ability to make you feel heard, understood, and supported.<br /> <br /> If I owned a counseling or therapy practice, I would personally hire Dr. Spelgatti and trust him to lead the entire organization. His knowledge, leadership, professionalism, and passion for helping others would make him an invaluable asset to any practice.<br /> <br /> Dr. Spelgatti has made a meaningful and positive difference in my life, and I am incredibly grateful to have him as my counselor. I would not trade him for anyone else in the world. He is truly one of a kind, and I cannot recommend him highly enough!”
