Shaquala Fields

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


As a single mom of color, I have witnessed the extreme societal pressure placed on mothers to choose between their career or their children; leaving little room to even provide attention to their own self care. This ignited a passion within me to use my skills to support women to navigate through the chaos. My goal is to work with those women who may need help coping through these very real everyday stressors. Not a mom? That's ok! I can also empathize with the pressure placed on women of color in the workplace to work so much harder than their male counterparts. Its my hope to create a safe space for you to explore these feelings.


It can be challenging at times for women to have access to a therapist who can empathize with their experiences. Through a strengths based approach, I would love to share my personal experience with being a woman of color, a mom, a Christian, as well as a goal oriented professional in non-profit leadership and mental health.

Through this journey, I want you to find a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and self worth and I would be honored to take that walk with you. Our sessions will not be for me to "social work" you, but for you to unload some of the pressure and burden to make the ride a bit easier. No matter what it feels like, you got this... you can do this!

I have 45 years of experience and specialize in many areas of expertise - addictions, LGBTQ+ mood disorders, trauma, grief, workplace issues to name a few.. I am a total insurance based practice and slide scale if necessary. Therapy is a process of self healing , discovery, growth and positive change. I try to promote a relaxed, open empathic experience with support and feedback. Prior to a first visit , I will do a 15 minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit. If we schedule an appointment, I will find out insurance benefits because I like all financial expectations out of the way so that it does not take time out of the session. Forms and consents are also sent via email prior to the session, so that any " business" needs are out of the way.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark

Finding a postpartum therapist in Newark starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Postpartum depression and anxiety are among the most common perinatal mental health conditions, but providers also work with concerns like adjustment to parenthood, birth-related stress, and changes in relationships. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, or psychologist — with specific experience in maternal or perinatal mental health. A certification like PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification) can indicate specialized training.

Choosing the right provider also means considering practical factors like whether you prefer virtual or in-person sessions, what days and times work for your schedule, and whether the provider's communication style feels like a good match. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and areas of focus. A free phone consultation is another way to gauge fit before committing to a first session.

Postpartum therapy in Newark can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who matches your needs and is covered by your plan.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
