Our mission
At ShelleysWayLLC, our mission is to empower individuals and families across New Jersey by providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and evidence-based mental health services. Through our Intensive In-Community (IIC), Behavioral Assistant (BA), and outpatient programs, we strive to support clients from childhood through their senior years in achieving emotional well-being, resilience, and a higher quality of life. For over 8 years, we have been committed to fostering healing, growth, and stability within homes and communities.
Our Vision
We envision a New Jersey where every individual—regardless of age, background, or circumstance—has access to personalized mental health support that nurtures their full potential. ShelleysWayLLC aims to be a trusted leader in community-based behavioral health, breaking down barriers to care and creating inclusive pathways to recovery, wellness, and lifelong empowerment.
Our Model
The ShelleysWay Model is a comprehensive, person-centered approach to community-based mental health care that integrates clinical excellence, operational efficiency, and compassionate service delivery. Grounded in evidence-based practices and trauma-informed care, the model emphasizes accessible and culturally responsive services for individuals and families across New Jersey from childhood through the senior years. The care pathway begins with thorough intake and psychiatric assessment, followed by individualized treatment planning and the delivery of Intensive In-Community, Behavioral Assistant, outpatient counseling, and psychiatric medication management services. The model relies on a strong multidisciplinary team that collaborates with schools, families, and community organizations to ensure continuity of care, while maintaining compliance with state regulations and Medicaid standards. Progress is monitored through structured assessments and outcome measures that evaluate emotional wellness, functional improvement, and family stability. Operationally, the model sustains itself through insurance reimbursements and strategic partnerships, while clinically it focuses on equipping clients with coping skills, emotional regulation, and resilience to achieve long-term recovery and improved quality of life.
CLient FEEDBACK
“During my time with Ms. Shelley I was able to grow so much, not only as an individual but as a productive member of society. She is very caring and individualizes her attention to each of her clients. I was very comfortable with her from the beginning because she didn’t make me feel like a kid. She made me feel like a young adult who could use a little bit of guidance and motivation. She taught me to not allow my past to determine my future. Her special technique of being there for the person but not being too overbearing helps us feel at ease. Transitioning from high school to college will be a big change for me but I know that when I look back Ms. Shelley is always there to support me and redirect me if need be. She has been a wonderful support for me this past year and I’m super grateful that she was placed in my life.
