GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT WHEN IT MATTERS MOST.
Sean brings a decade of operational, admissions, and family guidance to the Parallels team.
His extensive experience working in the mental health and addiction space is anchored in helping patients and families achieve positive outcomes during life’s most challenging moments.
Before joining Parallels, Sean served as the Director of Admissions for an industry-leading family system-based residential treatment provider in Florida. His role centered around directly working with families and patients, evaluating treatment options, and providing guidance for families throughout the treatment process.
“When families are faced with life's most challenging obstacles, my goal is to get them where they need to be and on a direct path to health, safety, and recovery.”
–SEAN TYNES
While working in the residential treatment industry, Sean often observed a lack of support, guidance, and education for family members who had a loved one struggling with mental health and/or substance use-related issues. Even well-established programs tended to treat the patient in a bubble without involving those closest to them. This resulted in family members often being left in the dark, without an ally or support during the process. It was clear there was a need for someone to help family and loved ones navigate a system that can be complex, confusing, and at times, overwhelming.
