Welcome to Faith Hope and Love Counseling LLC. I am a Licensed Practical Counselor in the state of New Jersey. I received my Master in Clinical Mental Counseling from Cappella University with 14 years of mental health and substance use experiences in various settings with all levels of treatments. I provide support to adults , children, adolescents and young adults through various challenges and transitions in life including trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, substance use, codependency, attachment disorders, Dual diagnosis, relationship difficulties and family dynamics.
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.
I’m the kind of therapist who sees past “I’m fine” and hears what you’re not saying. I work with women who are used to being the strong one, carrying it all, taking care of everyone else yet inside, you’re tired, anxious, or feeling disconnected from yourself. In our sessions, you don’t have to perform or hold it all together. You get to show up as you are, be honest about what’s weighing on you, and start doing the work to heal at the root. Expect real talk, genuine support, and tools you can actually use in real life.
I’m a licensed clinical social worker in NC, SC, FL, and NJ holding a Master of Social Work. I’ve worked in hospitals, schools, confinement settings and community mental health, and those experiences taught me how complex, layered, and personal healing can be. I specialize in helping women navigate anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, using a warm, direct, and culturally responsive approach. I also facilitate group therapy and provide clinical supervision for associate-level clinicians who want to grow with confidence and authenticity.
Hi, my name is Tammy Payne, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy. I offer telehealth therapy to adults throughout New Jersey and work with individuals navigating a variety of life challenges, including relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, infertility, and other stressors that can impact emotional well-being and daily functioning.
I believe that one of the most important aspects of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable being yourself. Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. I strive to provide a balance of compassion, honesty, and practical guidance while helping clients gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives.
Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with substantive experience in clinical settings. After experiencing how impactful depression and anxiety were during my teen years, I dedicated my career to helping others overcome feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Our minds can get stuck in a vicious, negative cycle that keeps us stagnant. Overthinking and racing thoughts can be overwhelming. Depressed moods can make us feel stuck. Constantly shifting moods can be exhausting. But there are ways to help lift ourselves out of the negative thought patterns that drive our emotions and behaviors. Using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, symptoms that feel insurmountable can become problems of the past.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 30 years of clinical experience. I received my MSW from Columbia University in NY. I also received 2 years of additional psychotherapeutic training at the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy and the Washington Square Institute in New York City.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in New Jersey
Searching for therapists in New Jersey starts with finding the right fit for your needs, location, and schedule. Across the state, therapy options can vary between urban, suburban, and rural areas, so it helps to look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want support with. That may include anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. You can also look for training in approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Your search may look different in Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, South Jersey, or a smaller New Jersey community. Some people prefer an in-person therapist close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand their style, areas of focus, and what a first session may include before you book.
The cost of therapy in New Jersey can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare virtual or in-person options in one place. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. Browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
