Karina Rodriguez, LSW, MSW

Hey! I’m Karina Rodriguez, a Licensed Social Worker in New Jersey. I’m passionate about helping people heal, grow, and tap into their inner strength to overcome life’s challenges. With specialized training in trauma-focused therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I focus on helping clients process and move beyond trauma in a way that feels right for them.

I use a variety of therapeutic techniques, including play therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy, and I always tailor my approach to meet your unique needs and goals. Whether you're struggling with past trauma, anxiety, or other emotional challenges, I’m here to support you on your journey.

I truly believe that we all have an "inner superhero"—a resilient, empowered part of ourselves that can face difficulties and create positive change. My goal is to help you discover and strengthen that inner power so you can feel more confident in handling whatever life brings your way. Therapy is not just about addressing pain; it’s about embracing the power of choice and realizing your potential to shape your own story.

I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your strengths, build resilience, and take steps toward a more empowered version of yourself. I’m here to walk with you on this journey and help you create the life you want.
