Message from Therapist

Dr. Sean Tobin is a clinical psychologist at the Divine Mercy Clinic, the go-to Catholic mental health center in the archdiocese of Los Angeles.  He provides therapy primarily for adolescents and adults, as well as couples and families. He primarily works from a psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral approach, but also integrates other modalities according to the need of the client. In therapy, Dr. Tobin is compassionate and engaged, bringing a depth of insight and feedback to help clients gain clarity and self-knowledge. He approaches therapy with an incarnational approach, believing the most healing occurs in the context of relationship. 

Dr. Tobin is Christ-centered, and believes that relationship with God is the most significant factor in one's mental and emotional health. As Pope Benedict XVI said, "Whoever wishes to heal man must see him in his wholeness and must know that his ultimate healing can only be God's love".

Dr. Tobin is trained and familiar in a variety of spiritual and prayer-based healing models, but believes strongly that administering such methods in psychotherapy would compromise his role. He is willing and able to collaborate and consult with spiritual and pastoral care, and encourages spiritual direction, but aims to compliment other streams of care with ethical and professional psychological services.
