Robert C. Sena, PCA, NCC, He/Him
Robert holds a Bachelor of Science in Management and Psychology from Rutgers University – New Brunswick and a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from The College of New Jersey.
​
Robert works with Depression, OCD, Anxiety, Eating Disorders, Bipolar Disorders, Borderline Personality Disorder, C-PTSD, Autism Spectrum, Identity Exploration, and Mood Disorders. Robert sees clients ages 15 and older. Grounded in a Person-Centered approach, Robert begins every therapeutic relationship by honoring the uniqueness and autonomy of the person he is working with, helping individuals work toward greater self-confidence, psychological flexibility, and clarity.
​
Robert integrates Lifespan Integration therapy to maintain a macro perspective, helping clients identify and shift conditioned responses through gentle, structured awareness. When the therapeutic relationship has cultivated sufficient safety and interpersonal readiness, he incorporates Gestalt and Existential therapies to explore meaning, embodiment, and the human condition more deeply.
Robert believes that healing and growth occur when we learn to inhabit our bodies more fully, engage authentically with others, and align our lives with the values that give us meaning.
​
Prior to joining The Path Center, Robert worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings, including facilitating DBT and CBT groups and supporting individuals recovering from substance use. He is also a certified yoga instructor and has taught yoga, bodywork, and herbal medicine in community settings. Robert was trained in Jin Shin Jyutsu and Actaline Therapy by the late Laurie Bechler—an energy-based modality drawing from Japanese meridian systems.
​
In his personal life, Robert enjoys playing music, caring for animals, being in nature, and exploring unexplored trails.
