Alexander Pendrey, LCSW — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Alexander!

I specialize in helping people overcome symptoms that interfere with daily life, including anxiety, chronic stress, depression, mood disorders, attachment issues, and trauma. I work with you to restore healthy connections, build healthy habits, and resolve past experiences.

My focus

I help people overcome symptoms that leave them feeling stuck, helpless, or hopeless. This includes avoidance, procrastination, managing reactions from difficult emotions or past experiences, intrusive thoughts or memories, difficulties communicating needs and boundaries, getting close to others, and feeling constantly stressed or on edge.

My approach

I provide integrative care that adapts to your needs. Each client receives an individualized treatment plan before we begin. I use a holistic approach to focus on healing all aspects of a person, not only cognitive or emotional difficulties.

My communication style

You can expect me to approach therapy in a genuine, relatable, and warm manner. I use relevant humor and positivity to make therapy engaging and less intimidating. I support a natural flow that balances comfortable conversation with goal-oriented progression.

My journey to mental healthcare

I initially became a therapist to help adolescents address depression and suicidal ideation, but quickly found myself working with children and adults addressing trauma. I have a passion for helping people understand their experiences and discover ways to address, live with, or overcome them.

My goals for you

Therapy requires alignment, cooperation, and partnership. I work to develop trust with individualized compassionate care. After our first session, we'll develop goals around what you want to work on and determine steps to get there. I want you to recognize progress and develop stepping stones so you can see a path forward.

Our first session

Our first session will be a comprehensive intake assessment where we learn about each other. I gather information to understand your needs, goals, and possible factors contributing to problems you'd like to address. You can expect a compassionate, safe space while we explore the experiences that brought us together.
