Nicole Catalano LPC, LCADC
Dual licensed mental health & substance abuse therapist
serving the Jersey Bayshore & Navesink areas
a b o u t m e
From a young age, I became affectionately aware of my own intuitive, empathic energy and swiftly realized my true calling. I have been a professional counselor working with children, adolescents, and adults in community, educational, and outpatient settings over the last several years. I deeply respect my clients' goals and strive to provide a nurturing, equitable relationship.
It is truly a gift and honor to be a partner along one's healing journey. I believe therapy can be a powerful tool to help someone reach their fullest potential, or to take those first, courageous steps to a peaceful self. Let's be honest- life is not without its' challenges, but we don't have to face it alone.
No matter what cards have been dealt, I trust that what you experience is uniquely yours. I offer well-rounded, holistic treatment by drawing from a range of therapeutic frameworks. Learning is a passion of mine; I have completed specialized trainings in addiction, mindfulness, social-emotional skills, trauma, and more.

{Every day I count my blessings that we found her. From the day I met Nicole, I knew she was special. She is hard-working, dedicated, and driven. Her positive attitude and demeanor is outstanding - she is such a pleasure to be around. She always kept me abreast of all situations, and for difficult matters, we worked together to address them and she was always respectful of my wishes. I cannot say enough about this amazing young woman. She has been an amazing role model for my kids, we will miss her greatly, but the only solace we take is knowing that she will do great things in her life because she has the talent and drive to go far} ~Parent of varied aged children
