About

Hello and welcome. I am Dr. Sandy Jensen and I live and work in New York State. I am licensed in NY and also in Virginia. I have spent my professional career in a variety of settings, all with a focus on assessing individuals in need of mental health, legal, or cognitive assistance. My goal is that we create a warm, compassionate relationship in which I can help you on your journey in the most effective manner, keeping your needs at the forefront of our meetings.

Education & Licensure
Ph.D. in Psychology from Iowa State University; MS in Psychology from Iowa State University; BA in Psychology from University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I am interested in evaluating adults for Autism Spectrum Disorder because I find it rewarding to help people better understand themselves and the experiences that have shaped their lives. Many adults have spent years struggling with social interactions, relationships, or everyday challenges without fully understanding why. I appreciate the opportunity to help individuals gain clarity, recognize their strengths, and better understand their unique ways of thinking and experiencing the world. My goal is to provide thoughtful, comprehensive evaluations that offer meaningful insight and practical recommendations to help people move forward.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

My approach focuses on recognizing and building upon each individual's strengths, rather than defining them by their challenges. I believe that everyone has unique abilities, perspectives, and potential that deserve to be understood and valued. Through a compassionate, affirming approach, I strive to help individuals better understand themselves, recognize their strengths, and discover ways to use those strengths to navigate everyday life and reach their full potential.
