Seaghan Coleman, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Buffalo NY
I am surely not fully awake or free yet, either. I have a long history of depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. Though it has been many years now since I have used or been crippled by my issues, I know what being there is like. In this way, I am a fellow traveller on the path. I work to be genuine, direct, and respectful with clients. I am open about my own work and try to work on a human-to-human level rather than taking a hierarchical stance.
Blending therapy and spirituality
I am a master therapist. I have mentored, coached, and provided therapy to numerous therapists. I provide training and consultation to multiple agencies. I teach many of the models that I use..
But what really matters to me more than anything else is personal growth- mine and everyone else's. As a practicing Buddhist, I aspire towards the Bodhisattva vow, a version of which is:
Suffering beings are numberless, I vow to liberate them all. Attachment is inexhaustible, I vow to release it all. The gates to truth are numberless, I vow to master them all.
I truly believe that we can all overcome that which holds us back- in terms of mental illness, life stressors, grief, etc, but also in terms of that which keeps us from aspiring to and working towards being free. I want to help people- clients or not- to explore the journey towards being truly awake and free.
My team does individual as well as group Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
