Our Mission
Signal 33 Therapy: Where Strength Meets Healing
Signal 33 Therapy is a specialized counseling service dedicated to supporting military, first responders, and law enforcement officers through the unique psychological challenges they face in service. Named after the emergency radio code for “officer needs assistance,” our mission is to answer that call—not with sirens, but with safety, empathy, and resilience.
We provide trauma-informed therapy tailored to the realities of policing: moral injury, hypervigilance, institutional stress, and the silent weight of cumulative trauma. Our approach blends clinical expertise with operational insight, offering a space where officers can speak freely, process deeply, and reconnect with their humanity without judgment.
At Signal 33, we honor the badge—but we also honor the person behind it. Whether you’re active duty, retired, or somewhere in between, our therapists understand the paradox of protection: how those trained to shield others often struggle to protect themselves.
Core Values:
• 🛡️ Honor – Respecting the courage and sacrifice of every officer
• 🔍 Insight – Exploring the emotional layers beneath the uniform
• 🧠 Resilience – Building tools for recovery, growth, and post-traumatic strength
• 🤝 Trust – Creating a confidential, culturally aware space for healing
Signal 33 Therapy is more than a counseling center—it’s a lifeline.
Because when an officer calls “Signal 33,” someone should always answer.
About Signal 33 Therapy
Our Education
Sean Byrne, CEO and Lead Clinician at Signal 33 Therapy, is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-S) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), authorized to provide clinical services in Oklahoma and Florida, with additional states pending endorsement.
He holds three master’s degrees—in Education, Counseling Psychology, and Social Work—and brings a multidisciplinary lens to every therapeutic encounter. Sean is also an Internationally Certified Prevention Specialist (ICPS) and a Certified Harm Reduction Specialist (CHRS), reflecting his commitment to evidence-based, compassionate care.
His clinical training includes:
• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
• Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD)
• Narrative Therapy & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Substance Abuse & Gambling Addiction Treatment
Sean has completed specialized training through the Center for Deployment Psychology, and has participated in law enforcement-focused programs including Crisis Intervention Team (CIT), De-escalation, and other CLEET-certified trainings. His approach is culturally embedded, trauma-informed, and mission-driven—designed to meet the unique needs of those working in high-stakes environments.
Our Experience
With over 30 years of experience in mental health and social work, Sean Byrne has dedicated his career to serving those who serve others. His work bridges clinical expertise with a deep understanding of the cultural realities faced by law enforcement, military personnel, and first responders.
In 2001, Sean launched a pioneering collaborative response initiative with the Enid Police Department—integrating mental health professionals into law enforcement operations. He secured multiple grants to fund this effort, expand officer training, and strengthen the department’s Peer Support Team. To this day, Sean remains actively involved with the Enid Police Department and the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office, offering consultation and support whenever possible.
Sean’s career began in 1992 at the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, where he developed a strong foundation in crisis intervention and critical incident response. He has personally responded to over 50 critical incidents and continues to volunteer with both the American Red Cross and the Oklahoma Medical Reserve Corps.
Recognizing a profound gap in culturally competent mental health care for high-stress professions, Sean founded Signal 33 Therapy to meet that need. His commitment is clear: to honor the badge and the person behind it by providing trauma-informed, mission-driven support to those who protect and serve.
Our Ethos
At Signal 33 Therapy, our ethos is forged from the intersection of service, struggle, and transformation. We believe healing is not weakness—it’s tactical. It’s the quiet strength to confront what others bury, and the courage to re-author your story without losing your edge.
We operate from a place of deep respect for law enforcement and military culture. That means no clichés, no generic advice, and no forced vulnerability.
We don’t just treat symptoms. We honor the complexity of what you carry—on duty, off duty, and everywhere in between. Whether you’re navigating moral injury, addiction, relationship strain, or the silent weight of the job, our ethos is simple:
You are not broken. You are adapting. And you deserve a space built for that truth.
Research-Based Tactical Healing
Grounded in evidence-based care and built for the realities of the job, Signal 33 offers trauma-informed counseling designed specifically for law enforcement, first responders, and military personnel. We understand the weight of the badge, the silence after the sirens, and the toll that service takes on mind and body. Our approach blends clinical precision with cultural competence—EMDR, narrative therapy, and tactical resilience strategies that speak your language and honor your experience. This isn’t generic therapy. It’s mission-ready healing.
