Meet Dr. Sean Heerey, ND

Where Natural Medicine Meets Deep Listening and True Healing
Most people grow up learning that healthcare means pills, rushed appointments, and surface-level fixes.
But what if you could be treated like a whole person—and not just a collection of symptoms?
👉 Here’s the Big Idea: Healing isn’t just about treating illness. It’s about unlocking your body’s potential with care that listens, honors your story, and restores balance from the inside out.
A Lifelong Journey Into Healing
Dr. Sean Heerey’s passion for natural medicine began in childhood. Growing up in a bilingual, bicultural home in Queens, he watched his Colombian grandmother prepare traditional home remedies and turn food into medicine. These early lessons sparked a lifelong curiosity: how can natural wisdom and modern science come together to heal?
This curiosity led him first into a career as a bilingual Speech-Language Pathologist, helping children with communication, feeding, and developmental delays. Yet he kept seeing a bigger problem: children were making progress in therapy, but their overall health held them back. That question—what’s missing?—changed everything.
The Turning Point
When Dr. Heerey faced his own unresolved health challenges, he sought help from a Naturopathic Doctor. For the first time, he felt truly heard, respected, and treated as an individual. His health transformed—and so did his calling.
He packed his bags, moved across the country, and completed his doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine at the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon. Since 2007, he has been practicing naturopathic medicine in New York, bringing that same deep care to every patient who walks through his door.

An approach to help children with autism and other developmental disorders. Step by step causative factors (pharmaceutical and over the counter medications, environmental toxic exposures, effects of illness, medical/dental procedures, etc.) are detoxified with homeopathic remedies. CEASE stands for Complete Elimination of Autistic Spectrum Expression. This approach was developed by Tinus Smits, MD, a Dutch homeopathic physician to help children and adults on the Autistic Spectrum recover and optimize function.This approach can also be used for children and adults with chronic disease. No 2 children are the same, therefore, every plan is individualized as exposures and causative factors vary from case to case.
Dilutions of flower material that affect change on mental and emotional levels. The effects can be compared to the experience of hearing a favorite song or looking at a photo of a beloved friend, family member or pet. That same feeling of joy, bliss and happiness can occur when a flower essence is customized and blended for you.
Homeopathic and energetic remedies used to detoxify the body and stimulate a state of wellness. The goal is to re-balance the body so it can handle normal, daily stressors and help establish an increased level of wellness.
This involves looking closely at your typical food intake in combination with the stressors in your life. What you eat, levels and types of stress, and your relationship with food all inform the consequences of your lifestyle choices. We will discuss how to modify them to improve your health and well-being.
Keeping in mind the naturopathic medical premise that the body has the innate ability to heal itself, we look at your diet to determine whether or not you are getting the essential nutrients your body needs to maintain optimal health. I then make the recommended dietary modifications needed to re-balance essential nutrients supporting your body’s ability to healing itself.
