Sebastian was incredibly understanding and compassionate. All my life I’ve been told I can’t achieve what my peers can because of my neurodivergency. Sebastian has the real life experience and wisdom to assure me that’s not true. All it takes is reassurance from someone who’s been where you are. Superheroes stick together!

Greetings! My name is Sebastion and I have been a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for over twenty years, a Certified Case Manager (CCM) for five years and a newly minted Certified Telemental Health Provider (CTMH). In addition to private practice work, I have spent many years as a frontline clinician and crisis supervisor. I also have several years experience in leading teams of care managers in government programs.
I have formal training in several modalities but prefer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Solution-Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC) in general. I am a lifelong student of interactive media and see therapeutic benefits in performance arts, analog and video gaming.
The world is a broken place. Each of us are born as shards – one piece a friend, one piece a student, another a sibling and so forth. As we absorb the world around us, we sense, we perceive, we feel and we act and splinter further into workers, lovers, parents, enemies, dreamers, victims, abusers, leaders and followers to name a few.
The universe taps us on the shoulder throughout our lives as a prompt to integrate – show one face, live one life and love who you are becoming. Therapy can help us recognize those shoulder taps and extract meaning from those cues.
If we miss those cues, the shattered world that we live in then lives in us – unless we act.
As a neurodiverse mental health professional, I am acutely aware of the puppet shows required for us to be seen as OK. I want to help others find areas of control and influence that can bring contentment, purpose and insight into the chaos that surrounds us.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Amazing help
Sebastian is very easy to talk to. He listens well, and provides helpful advice. I have appreciated the help he provided for me during our conversations. Would highly recommend.
Aside from being patient, Dr. Williams motivated and encouraged me to view things in a way that would remove pressure. He held me accountable for tasks in a way that resonated best for me. I've grown to appreciate the balance that therapy has provided me during a rough patch and finally feeling understood.
Best therapist
I would recommend Sebastion.
Always brings me back to my center & wise
Until Sebastian, there was ONE therapist I’ve encountered that really supported my efforts to “do the work” in therapy. There is some weird mental “block” for lack of a better word that prevents me from really connecting to therapist since the ONE. It was painful to know I needed talk to someone but couldn’t make it happen with my previous therapist. Sebastion had big shoes to fill and he’s exceeded my expectations. Had I created a therapist for exactly what I needed/wanted Sebastion would have been just that. Thankful doesn’t even begin to describe it.
Sebastion has been very helpful, a great listener, and has offered useful worksheets and advice that have helped me reach my goals.
I feel soo much better after talking to Sebastian, what a wonderful human being
