Hi and welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience in the field.
I know reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you have been carrying anxiety, depression, or substance use concerns on your own for a long time. I work with adults and seniors who are looking for a safe, supportive space to better understand what they are going through and begin making meaningful changes. My goal is to help you feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the healing process.
I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. The ideal client is open, courageous, and dedicated to their personal growth. They engage in therapy with honesty, ready to explore and understand their inner world. Embracing change with a patience and self-compassion, they can recognize that healing is a journey. Life is too precious to spend in bad relationships, holding grudges, letting trauma control us, or feeling anxious and angry. Together, we can create a supportive and safe space to work towards a healthier, happier self.
My name is Mia Hollenbach and I received my Master's Degree from Columbia University. I am clinically licensed in both New York and New Jersey and have 8 years of professional experience. I would describe my therapeutic style as warm, affirming, non-judgmental & rooted in compassion.
I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment.
You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning! Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and I'm here with you every step of the way.
I am a licensed therapist who brings a warm, direct, and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel supported, understood, and empowered, while also being gently challenged in ways that promote growth and insight.
My work is grounded in EMDR, attachment theory, CBT-based skills, and solution-focused interventions. I tailor treatment to each individual and family, integrating these approaches to address both present-day concerns and deeper patterns that may be influencing emotions, relationships, and behavior.
I have extensive experience working with children and families and specialize in supporting parents as they build and strengthen secure attachment with their children.
In addition to parenting support, I work with adults experiencing mood disorders, stress, and overwhelm.
Whether clients are working toward healing, personal growth, or simply seeking a space to slow down and be present with their feelings, I strive to offer a supportive environment where all emotions are welcome.
I truly value the privilege of walking alongside clients as they grow, heal, and strengthen their connections.

Welcome! This journey of life is full of challenges and no one needs to walk it alone. I specialize in treating children, adolescents, and adults who seek healing from trauma, anxiety, mood disorders, dysfunctional family patterns, relationships, life experiences, or disruptions in everyday functioning.

Who am I?
I am Shikeena Lynard-Greene MA, NCC, LPC- a counselor, educator, and founder of PACWELLNESS. Clients describe me as calm, encouraging, and very practical. I believe therapy should feel safe, structured, and useful.
As a counselor specializing in children, adolescents, and young adults, I provide a compassionate and culturally responsive space for young clients to explore their emotions, navigate life’s challenges, and build resilience. With a deep understanding of the unique dynamics within South Asian families, I help bridge generational and cultural gaps that often impact mental health, communication, and identity development.
I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.
Mental health acts as a lens that shapes how we see and understand our experiences. When we take good care of it, it can make life's challenges feel less overwhelming, helping us to face them more calmly and confidently. As a therapist, I firmly believe that mental health fosters a resilient mindset that promotes self-compassion, acceptance, optimism and hope. With nearly a decade of experience as a practicing therapist, I have supported clients of all ages, ranging from infants and parents to adolescents and adults. My current focus is on helping young adults navigating the pressures of expectations, feeling disconnected from their voice, or uncertain about their next steps. I provide a space where you can fully be yourself.
