I have worked on my own growth and awareness since I was 19 yrs old. Therapy helped change my life and old patterns that I developed in my early years. I have made tremendous changes in who I am and how I cope. I would like to help you do that too.
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.
Taking the first step towards change can feel overwhelming and you don’t have to do it alone. Hi, my name is Carlah and I am here to walk beside you on your recovery journey. I believe you are more than your anxiety, depression, addiction, or your past experiences. As a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor, with 21 years of combined experience in addiction and education, I will support you in addressing unhealthy patterns that have disrupted the balance in your life.
I have been on my own healing journey for 40+ years and so I know personally how much courage and effort it can take to heal and grow. I also know how amazing life and relationships can get as a part of that healing process; I wish that experience for everyone.
Hi, my name is Marissa and I am a licensed professional counselor in private practice who also worked as a middle school counselor for about 15 years. I believe in the therapeutic relationship because I feel you deserve to be heard in a world that can seem so loud and nonstop; while also feeling supported through the work of therapy. So whether you are feeling overwhelmed with life and its constant changes, looking to unpack past traumas, or move forward from a relationship and all that in between; I will provide an empathetic and nonjudgmental space to begin your journey into feeling like you can breathe a little easier again.
I genuinely enjoy my work as a psychologist, and feel honored and privileged to be able to help people on their journey toward health, happiness and well-being. I strive to being a good listener, compassionate, respectful and nonjudgmental. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with 23 years experience in private practice during which I saw a great diversity of clientele, each owning a variety of mental health issues. I have specialties in substance use issues, mood and anxiety disorders, sport psychology, as well as grief and life transitions. I work with teens and adults of all ages, and I have a special place in my heart for folks who have served our country in the military and for senior citizens.
I'm a licensed psychologist working with adolescents, adults, and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, grief, significant life changes, or challenges with attention and focus. My goal is to offer a safe, affirming space to explore your life, your story, and what matters most to you — your experiences, your values, and where you hope to go. You are a complex, whole person made up of many parts — and there is room here for all of them.
I am a dual Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 16 years of healthcare experience and 10 years in advanced practice. My background in critical care, hospital medicine, primary care, and behavioral health allows me to provide comprehensive, whole-person care that addresses both mental and physical well-being.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, stress, trauma-related concerns, and other mental health challenges.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel vulnerable, and I want you to know that you've landed somewhere safe. I'm a licensed therapist with three years of experience working with adults, and I specialize in trauma, anxiety, life transitions and self-worth.
I'm trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based approach for processing trauma and the experiences that continue to shape how we feel about ourselves and the world. I approach every client through a trauma-informed lens, which means I understand that what you're dealing with today often has roots that go deeper than the surface — and I'll meet you wherever you are in that process.
If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, a breakup, divorce, low self-esteem, or the effects of an emotionally unhealthy relationship, you don't have to face it alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can gain insight, build resilience, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change.
I am a New Jersey Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I have experience providing counseling services in private practice, schools, hospitals, assisted living, and correctional settings.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Metuchen
Searching for therapists in Metuchen starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, trauma, or life changes. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or an integrated approach to therapy. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses integrative therapies, works with specific populations, or focuses on the concerns you want support with.
In a smaller city like Metuchen, local in-person options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can expand the number of therapists available to you in New Jersey. Some people prefer meeting in an office close to home, work, or transit, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before you book can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what sessions may be like.
Therapy in Metuchen can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking. You can browse therapists, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
