I believe in providing a safe, supportive space for individuals seeking growth, healing, and clarity. My approach is collaborative and grounded in genuine connection—I believe real change happens when you feel truly seen and understood. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationships, or major life transitions, we’ll work together to help you build the tools and confidence to move forward.
Hi, I’m Jennifer! I’ve spent over 10 years working with individuals and families of all ages, helping them tackle life’s challenges—from anxiety and depression to trauma, life transitions, and family dynamics (and everything in between). I’m all about creating a safe, supportive space where you can show up just as you are.
I am a licensed mental health counselor with a passion for helping couples, families, and individuals, especially teens and women, navigate emotional pain, trauma, and identity challenges with clarity and compassion. My work is rooted in a trauma-informed and holistic approach, recognizing the deep connection between the mind, body, and spirit in the healing process.
I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and have experience working with adolescents and adults in both individual and group settings. I specialize in supporting clients struggling with emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relational difficulties. I also integrate evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-focused interventions, and practical coping strategies to help clients build emotional awareness, stability, and resilience.
In addition to clinical work, I am deeply passionate about helping individuals rediscover their sense of identity, purpose, and inner strength. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow at their own pace.
Hi - I am so glad you are here. I am Karr, a Licensed Professional Counselor and wounded healer with a burning passion to support the healing journey of others. I specialize working with the queer community and those who feel stuck in their survival mode after surviving traumatic experiences. I have training and experiencing navigating trauma, gender affirming care, and LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy.
I am an avid reader and obsessed with all things fantasy. At my core, I am a lifetime learner and dedicated challenger. I enjoy exploring the way systems operate, how they impact us today, and ways we can resist and challenge as a collective. When I am not working with clients, you can find me with my head in my kindle, spending far too many hours playing video games, or in some other hobby I am currently hyper-fixated on only to forget about a month later!
I am here to walk with you on your journey, offering guidance that respects your individuality. If you're ready to take the next step toward a more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out and let's start working together toward the future you envision. I have over fifteen years of experience in the mental health field. I graduated from Lehman College with Summa cum laude honors. I obtained my Master's degree from New York University and my Doctorate in Social Work from Rutgers University.
I’m Dr. Stephanie Smigiel, PhD, LPC, the founder of Smigiel Counseling, and I’ve worked in the behavioral health field since 2013 supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families. My practice is grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach, shaped by both professional training and lived experience. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals and trauma across the lifespan, from early childhood through adulthood, and tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, goals, and strengths.

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.
