I value authenticity, empathy, and self-awareness, both for myself, my clients, and as a critical part of the therapeutic process (I also take advantage of the healing power of laughter whenever possible!). I aim to normalize and validate my clients’ experiences without judgment, and above all, provide the most basic of human needs: to feel seen and heard. My name is Stephanie (or Stevie, either is fine) and I have been providing therapy in NJ exclusively via telehealth for about the last 5 years (prior to that, in person). I have a deep passion and respect for the power of therapy to change lives, which I have been privileged to witness in my work with clients, as well as in my personal life, both through the consistent use of therapy as part of my own self-care, as well as having spent the last 20 years raising two children with special needs. If you have been struggling with symptoms of depression or anxiety, particularly if they are related to a traumatic experience, I would love the opportunity to work with you to reduce your symptoms and help you experience a present that is not overshadowed by your past. I love working with women ages 20 to 30-something who are still in academia or just starting out in their careers, but also love working with women of any age. I frequently work with survivors of child sexual abuse, as well as those struggling with issues related to self-worth, but work with other conditions as well.

My personal experience has taught me that change can be stressful and uncomfortable and that there are some things in life that we do not have control over. My belief that people are resilient and can navigate through the hard times in life with support is what drew me to my area of focus. It has also deepened my passion for the counseling process. I have worked in several settings, such as hospitals, mental health agencies, and substance abuse clinics, which has helped shape my practice by enhancing my ability to understand my clients’ needs in regard to progress in treatment. I am also trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, which has enhanced my ability to recognize symptoms of trauma and understand how they may impact a client and act as an obstacle that keeps them from moving forward.

My name is Shani Muhammad and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey. I graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Health Studies from Monmouth University. I graduated in 2014 from Stockton University with a Master's in Social Work. I am the founder/therapist at Journey of Rose & Mary, LLC. I help young adults and women overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. You may notice that in some of my photos I’m wearing a hijab, and in others I’m not. That’s intentional. Both reflect real parts of who I am and how I move through the world. I share this so there’s no confusion, only openness, and an invitation to bring your full self into this space too. As a Muslim woman, my faith is an important part of who I am, it shapes the way I hold space for people, listen deeply, and honor every part of your story. Whether you're a woman or man balancing identity, burnout, or societal pressure or a first responder carrying the weight of others while pushing through your own. You are seen here. I also work with clients from immigrant communities, multicultural or interfaith families, and anyone living at the intersections of race, faith, gender, and responsibility. This space is faith-informed, culturally grounded, and made for all of who you are.

I received my Bachelor's degree from Oakland University and shortly went on and received my Master's degree from Wayne State University. My clinical focus during my Master's program was in the Psychodynamic Theory and the Family Systems Theory. Most of my work history has been in community mental health, so I had the privilege of being exposed to many different types of mental health concerns and diagnoses (i.e. anxiety, depression, personality disorders and bipolar disorders). I understand the complexity of the human experience and I’m fully aware there is no “one size fits alI” treatment approach for everyone. This is why I prioritize meeting my individuals where they are and figuring out what is going to work best to serve them at that time! I am eager to collaborate with individuals and help them see realistic and sustainable change in their lives.

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted by overthinking, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Maybe your mind feels anxious, scattered, or weighed down by overthinking. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. I help adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, self-doubt, or major life transitions find clarity, confidence, and a greater sense of calm. 🌱 I bring both compassion and structure to therapy. Clients describe me as warm, approachable, and practical—someone who listens deeply, helps them feel understood, and offers clear guidance for moving forward. 🌱 As a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP) and Certified Mindfulness-Informed Professional (CMIP), I specialize in evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy. These methods give us a flexible toolkit we can tailor to your needs—whether you want to quiet racing thoughts, improve focus and organization, or navigate a life change with more confidence. 🌱 I believe therapy works best when it feels both supportive and practical: a place where you feel truly heard, while also discovering new perspectives and strategies that create lasting change. My goal is to meet you where you are, honor your strengths, and walk with you as you build the life you want.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has dedicated my professional life to the advancement of the human species. What do I mean by the advancement of the human species? Well, no one ever taught us how to be mindful of thought patterns; to be aware of our own scars and biases, no one gave us an instruction book when it comes to dealing with our emotional life and the emotional lives of others. Scary, those big feelings can be. Unless, you have a plan. That is where therapy comes in. We work together to develop plans to assure you accomplish the goals you set for yourself.
