See what our patients are saying about Sean Blackburn

Sean is an excellent therapist. He is the first therapist who I have seen in childhood and as an adult who has taken the time to help me learn new coping mechanisms for CPTSD and trauma. He has suggested books to read and a workbook that we worked on for the first 2 years. This gave me something to do and learn while processing everything that I have been through. After I found out that a divorce was inevitable, he and my nurse practitioner Erica Webb, helped me literally survive through that experience. We are still working on so much more, 1 year later. My insurance got messy, but Lifestance let me pay off my bill, a little every month. I highly recommend this mental health company within the Lexington, KY area.

Very smooth scheduling and excellent patient/office communications. Sean has been so helpful to me, teaching coping skills and enabling me to “work through” issues in my past.
