Sean M. Kennedy, MA, CMHC, RMHCI

I am a mental health counselor in St. Augustine, Florida. As an advocate and practitioner of Positive Psychology, I focus more on my clients’ strengths than their weaknesses. Using a strengths-based approach, I help clients build upon the resilience, determination, and inner resources that have helped them overcome challenges and move forward in life.

I believe that purpose and meaning are essential to living a fulfilling life, and I strive to guide clients through that process of discovery. Through gentle support and collaboration, I help clients recognize their sense of agency and self-determination, moving from simply imagining change to actively creating it. Goals are an important part of this process. I want to understand what matters most to my clients so we can work together to develop a meaningful and achievable plan for growth.

I believe that by taking a proactive approach to our mental and emotional health, each of us can become stronger, healthier, and more resilient. I am committed to helping my clients achieve this. In my view, physical and mental health are deeply connected and should not be treated separately. By being intentional and preventative with our mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing, we can become more adaptable, balanced, and empowered in our daily lives.

In addition to my work as a mental health counselor, I am also a Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach.
