Sehnaz Zor, LPC

Sehnaz Zor, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey with 17 years of clinical experience and 15 years as a fully licensed practitioner. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (1994), a Master of Arts in Psychological Counseling (2001), and a Post-Master's Certificate in Professional Counseling (2003). Since 2003 she has worked in both partial hospital and outpatient settings, developing broad experience in individual and group work as well as long-term practice providing couples, marriage, and family therapy.

Her clinical focus includes depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, anxiety and stress, anger, adjustment to life changes, and helping people find meaning and purpose. She also attends to related concerns such as abandonment, attachment and blended family issues, caregiving stress, communication and commitment problems, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, and other interpersonal challenges. Her practice has included work with trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties, bipolar disorder, and helping clients cope with major life transitions.

Zor’s counseling approach blends client-centered and humanistic principles with structured methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques. She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), existential perspectives, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused interventions when appropriate. Her work is described by a culturally sensitive stance that acknowledges each person’s distinct background and strengths.

Respect, professionalism, empathy, and compassion guide her interactions with clients. She aims to accompany people through exploration of the patterns or barriers that limit wellbeing, and to support goal-oriented steps toward growth, clearer relationships, and a stronger sense of purpose.
