Therapists & Counseling for

Compassionate Bilingual Care for New Jersey Residents

For individuals, couples, and families in Bergen County, Jersey City, Hoboken, and surrounding Northern New Jersey communities, finding a high-caliber therapist who speaks both English and Spanish with deep cultural fluency can be difficult.

At The Joy In Living, founder Christina Soddano, LCSW offers a grounded therapeutic environment combining traditional clinical counseling (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, emotionally focused couples therapy) with holistic grounding tools (breathwork, trauma-informed mindfulness).

Specialized Clinical Services:

• Individual Therapy: Relief from anxiety, panic, depression, emotional overwhelm, and chronic life stress.
• Couples Counseling: Rebuilding trust, navigating cross-cultural dynamics, and improving communication.
• Family Counseling: Restoring harmony, resolving conflict, and strengthening generational bonds.
• Immigration Evaluations: Highly thorough psychosocial assessments for asylum, hardship, VAWA, and U-Visas accepted by courts and USCIS nationwide.
• Trauma & Somatic Care: Gentle, body-aware therapy that helps release stored stress and trauma safely.
• Flexible Formats: In-person therapy in Sleepy Hollow (easily reached via the Mario Cuomo Bridge or GWB) plus virtual appointments.
