Alex Pillion, MSW, LSW

A Note from Alex…

Feeling anxious, stuck, or uncertain doesn't mean you’re failing; it means something needs attention.  I’m a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) providing therapy to teens and adults throughout New Jersey. I take an individualized, holistic approach grounded in authenticity, and have a deep respect for the courage it takes to begin therapy. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Together, we will explore your strengths, values, and lived experiences while moving through what’s been holding you back so that you can find sustainable ways of moving forward.

I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ERP, EMDR, and mindfulness, and support clients healing from anxiety, OCD, depression, and trauma.  I am passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ clients, folks struggling with grief and loss (including pet loss), ADHD, autism, and those navigating life transitions. 

When we work together, my intention is to provide a comfortable, safe experience. My work is queer-affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and sex-positive. You can expect a warm, genuine, human-centered space to build a life in alignment with your authentic self. If you are ready for meaningful change, I welcome you to reach out.
