Sean Deshaies

Student Intern

Sean is a graduate student at the University of Massachusetts Global Campus, where he is pursuing his Master of Social Work degree, expected to graduate in summer 2027. As a first year intern therapist, he is developing his clinical skills by supporting adults, teens, and children as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions.

Rooted in his diverse professional background and lived experiences, Sean brings a grounded, strengths based, and collaborative approach to therapy. Growing up in Manchester, NH shaped his commitment to expanding access to mental health care in the community and deepened his understanding of the complex barriers many individuals and families face.

Sean is especially drawn to working with clients with intellectual and developmental disabilities, individuals experiencing relationship concerns, and those processing grief or trauma. He strives to create a therapeutic environment built on partnership, trust, and authenticity where clients feel supported in building resilience, confidence, and self-understanding.
