About Me

Divya, Dodhia
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

I am a compassionate and dedicated child and family therapist with over 20 years of experience, based in Jersey City, New Jersey. I specialize in supporting families, individuals, and trauma survivors through culturally sensitive and holistic therapy.

A Passion for Families and Healing

I am deeply committed to helping families create nurturing environments where every member feels valued. I work closely with parents to strengthen bonds, improve communication, and navigate the complexities of family dynamics. My goal is to guide parents in understanding their roles and fostering healthy relationships that allow children to thrive.

In addition to family therapy, I provide mindful and empowering counseling for survivors of trauma, including childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, and other deeply personal challenges. Using evidence-based approaches, I help clients process their experiences, regain control, and build resilience.
