Nina Knight

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 17 mi away • Woodbridge Township, NJ


I'm Nina Knight — an LCSW, Registered Play Therapist Supervisor (RPT-S), EMDR-trained clinician, retired law enforcement officer, and U.S. military veteran. What makes my practice different is that I don't just study the experiences my clients bring through the door — I've lived many of them. I understand the weight of wearing a uniform. I understand trauma that doesn't show up on an X-ray. I understand what it means to hold yourself together for everyone else until you simply can't anymore.My practice, Living & Looking Within, serves individuals, couples, children, and families across New Jersey — in person in Woodbridge or via telehealth statewide. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds, with a particular passion for first responders, veterans, BIPOC communities, and anyone navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, or the emotional weight of doing a job most people could never do. I accept most major insurance plans including Aetna, Cigna, Horizon BCBS, Lyra, Optum, and UHC.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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

Finding family therapists in Jersey City starts with understanding what your family wants to address together. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare therapists, look for experience with your specific concern, such as family systems therapy, attachment-based therapy, parent-child work, or support for major life transitions.

In Jersey City, location and schedule can shape which therapist fits your family’s routine. Some families prefer an in-person office near home, school, work, or transit. Others use virtual sessions to make it easier for more family members to attend from different places. Session attendance may also vary by need, with the full family, caregivers, siblings, or individual members joining at different times. Before booking, read each therapist’s bio to understand their approach, who they typically work with, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to talk through session structure.

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 understand your out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you find family therapists in Jersey City who are accepting new patients, see estimated costs after you enter your insurance details, and compare virtual and in-person options. You can review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
