SEAN DOWNES, LCSW
Sean Downes, LCSW is a Licensed Oregon Psychotherapist and Personal Development Coach who helps individuals unlock their innate capacity to heal and grow. Through an integrative, mind-body approach—drawing from EMDR Therapy, talk therapy, and yoga-based mindfulness—Sean supports clients in releasing old patterns, deepening self-awareness, and aligning with their true path.
Grounded in authenticity and insight, Sean’s work centers on the belief that meaningful change begins from within. Sean's therapy clients often describe feeling clearer, more confident, and more connected—to themselves, others, and the life they’re creating. His approach blends presence with precision, holding space for both transformation and integration.
​
With over a decade of experience as an Oregon therapist, Sean has worked with a wide range of clients—professionals, teens, couples, and veterans. He brings a strong foundation in trauma-informed care and body-based practices, including years of teaching yoga in recovery centers, VA hospitals, and public studios. His therapeutic work is infused with movement, breath, and the quiet wisdom of the body.
Sean's Path
Sean’s path to this work is rooted in personal transformation. In his twenties, a number of challenges led him to immersive study in personal development practices, meditation, men’s work, and grief rituals. He received his yoga teacher training at the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, and continues to weave its principles into his holistic framework.
​
He holds dual U.S. and European citizenship and considers himself a world citizen—shaped by a love of nature, travel, and embodied presence. Whether in a session or on a trail, Sean brings a sense of curiosity, calm, and care to everything he does. He's now delighted to expand his online psychotherapy practice to all of oregon - including Personal Development Coaching!
