Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Red Bank, NJ


I believe in a client-centered approach, combining holistic and evidence-based modalities tailored to each individual. Recognizing that people are equal parts nature, nurture and the surroundings in which they live is a priority of mine, as no two people endure the same sets of circumstances. Moving forward consists of recognizing where a person is at that time, as well as crafting the space to assist them on the path to where they would like to be in order to have a better quality of life.

I follow the concept that therapy can heal emotional pain, improve relationships and increase self-understanding. Beginning therapy can often be intimidating, but can make a big difference in your ability to cope with challenges or make sense of what has happened so you can gather the skills to move forward. I am open to addressing unresolved or present barriers in your life, guide and help you make sense out of your own thoughts ideas and conflicts (situational).

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hi! I am Felicia. I am a LCSW in the State of New Jersey as well as a PMH-C (certified by postpartum support international). I transitioned from working with adults & teens to also expanding to working with women experiencing PMAD (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders) in 2024 as well. My ideal client is a young adult or woman experiencing a difficult time in their life or in motherhood. I love empowering & educating clients to overcome these difficulties. My ideal client is looking for a therapist who does not judge them, is caring, and is dynamic in the therapeutic process while cheering them on!

My calling to working with young adults and mothers is my own life experiences. I have made it my mission to stay up to date with the best continuing education, and resources in order to empower my clients. Many of my clients feel more confident in working together after the initial few sessions. I want my clients to feel HOPEFUL about their future.

It can be so difficult to ask for help. I would love to have that be the hardest part of the process of working together. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, safe, and not feel judged by anything you need to share. I strive to make therapy a space that you feel challenged enough to grow but safe enough to be vulnerable in the process. Let's grow!

I know what it's like to struggle and please know that it DOES get better! In my early 20's I battled anxiety and made a vow to learn how to manage these symptoms and help others manage them too! I went back to school at Columbia University where I learned as much as I could about how to effectively treat mental health conditions and personal challenges. I understand both professionally AND personally how challenging life can be and believe fully in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship!

Shannon Cahill

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


Hello and thank you for taking a moment to get to know me! I’m a dedicated therapist with extensive experience across the lifespan, working with clients as young as toddlers to older adults well into their 90s. I hold a master’s in clinical counseling and mental health and am advancing my training in a PhD program in Psychology. My clinical journey spans all levels of care from inpatient settings to outpatient therapy where I have supported individuals, couples, and families through a wide range of mental health and substance use challenges. I specialize in working with complex diagnoses and am deeply committed to addressing difficult issues rather than avoiding them. I bring a holistic approach as an individual, family, and couples’ therapist, creating a compassionate and empowering space where clients feel truly seen and supported. I have worked extensively with mental health, trauma, relationship dynamics, and substance use, always striving to help clients build resilience, regain confidence, and reconnect with themselves and loved ones. My aim is to promote lasting change by helping clients challenge unhelpful patterns, strengthen emotional connections, and reclaim agency in their lives. I’m honored to walk alongside each person and family on their unique path toward healing and growth.
