Dr. Jennifer Santos

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


As the founder of Voice & Value Psychotherapy PC, I offer bilingual (English/Spanish) therapy grounded in warmth, respect, and cultural humility. I hold a Doctorate in Psychology and am a Licensed Professional Counselor in New Jersey, with clinical experience spanning trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and the stressors that come with navigating identity, acculturation, and belonging.

My doctoral research focused on acculturation stress and discrimination within Latine communities, and that lens continues to shape how I understand the ways culture, environment, and lived experience shape mental health. I work with adults seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and the weight of stressors that often go unspoken. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and never judged.

John Lopez

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


My path to being a therapist involved listening to feedback I've received most of my life. For many years I experienced others coming to me in crisis, whether I knew them well or not. I often wondered why others felt comfortable sharing with me and why they were confident in coming to me for assistance. What makes me suited to be a therapist is a natural talent and motivation to assist others in transformation. Providing therapy is my second career; previously, I worked as a hospital administrator for many years. I went into the profession of health administration for compensation and prestige. Security was my motivation at the time. After several years of not feeling fulfilled, I decided to pursue what was missing and lead with my heart

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Jersey City, NJ

Finding couples therapists in Jersey City starts with understanding what you want to work on together. Couples therapy may support partners navigating communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, or parenting disagreements. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with couples and relationship concerns. Some therapists also note specific couples training, such as the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy, and licensed marriage and family therapists may have additional training in relational care.

In Jersey City, finding one therapist who fits both partners’ needs often comes down to schedule, format, and location. An in-person office near Journal Square, Downtown Jersey City, or a PATH stop may work well for some couples, while virtual sessions can make it easier to coordinate around two calendars. As you compare therapists, check appointment availability, whether they are accepting new clients, and whether they offer a brief phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures couples sessions and how they describes their approach.

Couples therapy in Jersey City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can filter for therapists who match your preferences, review bios, and choose between virtual and in-person care, making it easier to find a therapist who accepts your plan and is ready to see new clients.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
