Therapy Rooted in Connection, Compassion, and Care

Marie DiMatteo is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Eatontown, NJ, providing trauma-informed therapy for adults across Monmouth County and New Jersey. With over a decade of experience, she offers a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and personal growth.

My Approach to Therapy

I believe therapy begins with connection—and that healing happens when you feel safe, seen, and supported. My goal is to create a space that’s grounded in trust, compassion, and collaboration. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, grief, or major life transitions, you don’t have to do it alone.

My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, meaning I always honor your pace, preferences, and readiness. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach here—each session is tailored to meet you where you are emotionally and mentally.

In our work together, we’ll explore the patterns and experiences that may be keeping you stuck, while building insight, resilience, and emotional clarity. You don’t need to have all the answers to start—just the willingness to show up as you are.

Soft waves on a tranquil surface, reflecting mindfulness, stillness, and inner balance

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Georgian Court University, and have worked in both community and clinical settings with adolescents, adults, and families. My professional journey has deepened my belief in each person’s capacity for growth, and I feel truly honored to support others through this work.

With over 10 years in the mental health field, I bring both experience and empathy into the room along with a deep respect for your lived experience and insight.

My Background

Modalities I Use

I take an eclectic, evidence-based approach to therapy, integrating techniques that are adapted to fit your needs and goals. These include:

  • CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns, supporting more balanced thinking and healthier behaviors.

  • Mindfulness practices promote present-moment awareness and emotional regulation to reduce stress and anxiety.

  • A compassionate, nonjudgmental space that honors your lived experience and empowers self-exploration and growth.

  • A goal-oriented approach that highlights your strengths and focuses on practical steps toward positive change.

  • We help you identify and use your inner strengths as a foundation for healing and personal development.

  • REBT helps you challenge unhelpful beliefs and reframe negative thought patterns to promote healthier emotions and behaviors.

  • Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that strengthens your motivation and confidence to make meaningful changes in your life.
