Sean Slevin, LPC, LMFT
Sean is a Licensed Counselor and Marriage & Family Therapist, with a
Master's degree from Reformed Theological Seminary. While, of course,
being skilled and experienced with common counseling issues (e.g.,
depression, anxiety, addictions, relationships, trauma, etc.),
fundamentally he views his work as helping others become more human by
growing in the character of Christ. He has been counseling in
Harrisonburg, Virginia for many years (and a member of Church of the
Incarnation since its early days), serving people across all walks of
life, including pastors, ministry leaders, lay leaders and fellow
counselors.
Though Sean is not trained in spiritual direction per se, he has spent
his adult years cultivating a way of life and character formation (for
himself and his clients) that is fundamentally spiritual, emotional and
embodied, strongly influenced by the Christian mystic, contemplative
traditions. While he is a firm believer in concrete practices of both
stillness and action he has found that what matters most is how a given
habit shapes our character in this season of our life -- that we must
cultivate the wisdom of a listening heart, tuned to the Spirit's
whisperings within our own soul, in order to discern how best to
approach whichever practices for the sake of our growth and healing in
this particular moment.
Note that because Sean is a counselor any work you do with him will be
under the umbrella of counseling, though what you focus on in your work
with him is always up to you. If you would like Sean to walk with you in
your Christian growth journey you can reach out to him via Transitions
