Sean Burr

Sean Burr

Sean can support and guide individuals struggling with clinical issues, including addiction, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, personality disorders, developmental trauma, autism, gender dysphoria, and psychotic disorders. He is also able to assist individuals experiencing family violence, religious or spiritual struggles, and relationship issues (i.e., separation and divorce). 

Registration number: LSW 15982

From a relational psychodynamic framework, he puts a strong emphasis on curiosity, vulnerability, and self-understanding. This focus comes from the belief that an individual is more than a label, situation, or what has occurred to them, and so any solution must take into account the unique complexities surrounding each individual’s life story.

2014
Sean completed his Master's Degree at the University of Chicago in Social Work with a specialization in addictive disorders.
2015
Sean completed a clinical mental health fellowship at the Menninger Clinic in Houston, Texas where he worked on a unit for professionals undergoing a mental health crisis. He provided individual, family, and group therapy and received advanced training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mentalization-Based Therapy.
2016
Sean moved to Edmonton, Alberta where he worked as part of an assessment and treatment team with the municipality. He ran groups for men going through separation and divorce and family violence victims as well as provided individual therapy to citizens. He also began working privately with veterans and other first responders in a private practice focused on the treatment of trauma.
2020
Sean began his PhD at the Graduate College of Social Work at the University of Houston with a focus on suicide prevention and intervention approaches.
Currently
Sean continues to work on finishing his PhD and he moved back to Victoria, BC where he is originally from. He works part-time with the local health authority in the outpatient psychiatry clinic as a mental health therapist. He is receiving supervision and training in Mentalization-Based Therapy.
