Alexandra Pensado Sendon

Hey, I’m Alex! Thanks for stopping by, I know how hectic it can feel to navigate the mental health space and find a therapist who’s the right fit. I’m a licensed professional counselor offering virtual therapy in New Jersey. I’m someone who strives to stay connected to a sense of silliness and whimsy, and I’m passionate about helping people approach their inner world with a lighter (more curious, less judgmental) attitude. I believe you’re the expert on yourself and my job is to walk beside you, point out interesting patterns, and help you feel more like the “you” you want to be.

Whether your stress comes from the wild state of the world or from the stories you’ve carried inside, I offer a trauma-informed and holistic approach to help you make sense of it all. Drawn to conversations about meaning, purpose, and how we make sense of being here, I aim to help you explore the layers of your experience and reconnect with what feels true.

My work is inspired by existential therapy, Gestalt therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Let’s find meaning, rediscover joy, and laugh when it gets weird.

During our first session together, we will collaboratively set expectations, boundaries, and goals for therapy and the "therapy space". I will ask questions about your life to gather context about your current reality.
