What We Do

Life can be challenging and we all have our ups and downs.  At times, it can be difficult to move past what is getting in our way of our happiness in order to be our true selves. There is nothing like having an objective outsider that can truly listen in a non-judgmental way, help you to reflect on  the situation and factors that may be contributing, and together come up with strategies  which can allow you to move forward in a more thoughtful and meaningful way.  We are here to be that person for you.

We use an interactive, ecclectic relational approach where we are here to listen, but additionally we have a dialogue in which we provide feedback. Our individualized approach is specific to each person we work with, depending on what you are looking to achieve. We are always training in evidence-based practices to meet our clients' needs. 

We work with adolescents and adults as individuals, couples, and families collaboratively to achieve the goals that you have set forth in the beginning of the therapeutic process. Depending on what these goals are, the therapy can be brief and solution focused, or more psychodynamic-oriented and longer term.

Katarina Grimaldi, LSW 

My name is Katarina Grimaldi and I am a Licensed Social Worker. I received my Masters of Social Work from Monmouth University in 2020 and my Bachelors in Social Work in 2019, with a concentration in clinical practice. Throughout my academic career, I completed student internships in the field areas of an out-patient psychotherapy practice, a hospital’s in-patient psychiatric unit, and a Monmouth County elementary school, while gaining substantial clinical and advocacy experience with school-age, early adult, and adult populations.
​
Some therapeutic modalities and treatment models I utilize are: Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Humanistic Theory, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, and Person-Centered Approach, all of which put an individual at the center of the helping process. Throughout the therapeutic journey, I believe in always offering a positive regard to my clients and working compassionately alongside of them, in order for them to grow and to fulfill their own potential as individuals, while they end up valuing themselves and their lives. ​
