I provide therapy for individuals navigating childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, parenting and postpartum adjustment, and major life transitions. I specialize in working with individuals who were raised by emotionally immature parents. Many of my clients find themselves struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and a sense of disconnection from who they truly are. You may feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, unsure how to break free or where to begin.
I also support women during pregnancy and the postpartum period as they navigate the emotional, physical, and identity shifts that come with this transition. Whether you’re becoming a parent, adjusting to new responsibilities, or rethinking your path in life or career, therapy can be a space to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
I work with adults who are carrying more than they let on — people who show up for everyone else and aren't quite sure how to show up for themselves. My clients come to me with anxiety that runs in the background of their lives, grief that doesn't fit neatly into a timeline, relationships that feel harder than they should, and transitions that have left them questioning who they are now. I'm a Black therapist, and I bring that fully into the room. For clients seeking a culturally affirming space — someone who gets the weight of navigating identity, community expectations, and mental health at the same time — I want you to know you don't have to explain yourself here. I work exclusively with adults 18 and older via telehealth across New Jersey. I accept Aetna, Cigna, and Carelon, and I keep sessions to 60 minutes so we can go deep without rushing. Healing isn't linear, and I'm not going to pretend it is — but I'll be with you through all of it.
Are you finding it hard to navigate everyday life? Are your relationships suffering? If you answered “yes” to these questions, please know you CAN live a different life. Relationship issues, trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and many other problems are challenging, to say the least. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings, learn coping strategies, and improve your relationships. You do not have to go it alone when therapy is available.
Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board-Certified Art Therapist, and Certified Yoga Teacher with 7 years of experience supporting adults navigating ADHD/ autism, health anxiety, OCD, and chronic illness (i.e., I'm most familiar with POTS/ Dysautonomia, ME/CFS, & migraines). I aim to cultivate a space that is neurodiversity affirming and chronic illness informed. I value creating a safe, inclusive space for clients to feel seen, supported, and empowered.
My work is grounded in the belief that healing begins when we feel safe enough to stop fighting ourselves — and from there, we can begin the journey of coming home to who we truly are. I integrate creative, somatic, and trauma-informed practices in the therapeutic process.
My name is Shannon Hollfelder, LPC. I completed my Master's degree and internship at Caldwell University. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) to support growth and change in the clients I work with.
How do we make sense of our stuff? This is a critical question. Life can be challenging and sometimes we can’t understand what we are experiencing and why. Much of our ability to overcome adversity originates from our mindset- how we process our experiences. It is the lens through which we view our reality.
Essentially, what contributes to our overall well-being is not necessarily the absence of setbacks but rather how we respond to these experiences. Our ability to accept our challenges, to make meaning out of them, to understand how they serve us, is necessary for our personal growth. I work with my clients to help them shift their mindset and to find meaning in all of life’s experiences.
I have been a been a practicing Social Worker for twenty years. I hold a Ph.D. in Social Work and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I take a person-centered approach to therapeutic work and integrate a variety of intervention modalities into my practice. I specialize in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Multisystemic Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Structural Family Therapy. I also have extensive experience with Trauma Informed Care as well as grief and bereavement work. I partner with my clients to determine which approach might be most meaningful to them.
My philosophy in life is to be authentically who I am in all parts of my life. So here I am letting you know how awkward I find it to sell myself professionally in a profile. Keeping it real simple, I am an LCSW with 10 years clinical experience. I have worked in every level of care and with just about every age group. My focus and greatest expertise is in trauma treatment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Linwood
Searching for therapists in Linwood starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and therapy approaches that align with your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what kinds of concerns they most often support.
In a smaller city like Linwood, nearby in-person options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search across New Jersey. You may want a therapist with evening availability, someone accepting new patients, or a free phone consultation before your first session. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, approach, and experience, so you have a clearer sense of fit before choosing a therapist.
Therapy in Linwood can be a significant expense 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. Headway connects you with therapists who are accepting new patients and accepts a wide range of insurance plans nationally, making it easier to review profiles, compare 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.
