In-person in Boonton, NJ & telehealth throughout NJ & PA
Let’s talk about it.
Katie Rella, DSW, LCSW, LCADC
You’re probably good at handling things on your own. But sometimes understanding what’s going on isn’t enough to actually change it. We’ll talk it out, figure out what’s keeping you stuck, and go from there.
This might be your kind of therapy if...
You know yourself pretty well. But knowing isn’t always enough.
What we can work on
Maybe one of these sounds familiar.
Trauma & Past Experiences
Maybe you know exactly where it comes from. Maybe you don’t. Either way, something that happened before is still affecting how you feel, react, or relate to people now.
Anxiety & Overthinking
Your brain is very good at thinking. Unfortunately, it also refuses to clock out. You replay conversations, anticipate problems, and can turn one thought into twenty before you know it.
Burnout & Perfectionism
Your calendar is full, your brain is tired, and somehow slowing down makes you feel like you should be doing something. Resting without feeling guilty has become its own project.
Relationships & Self-Worth
You’re noticing patterns in your relationships that you don’t want to keep repeating. Boundaries, family dynamics, people-pleasing, or how much other people’s opinions affect the way you see yourself might be part of it.
Also part of the conversation: ADHD, depression, life transitions, grief, and substance use.
Looking for therapy for your teen?
I work with teens 13+. And no, I don't expect them to sit across from me and talk about their feelings for an hour just because that's what therapy is “supposed” to look like. So we figure out what works for them instead.

Hi, I’m Katie!
I’m Katie (she/her), a therapist, dog mom, true crime fanatic, and big fan of iced coffee. I work with people dealing with anxiety, burnout, relationships, trauma, and patterns they understand pretty well but haven’t quite figured out how to change.
My style is direct, goal-oriented, and collaborative. We’ll talk about what’s going on, figure out where you want things to be different, and make an actual game plan for getting there. I want therapy to be a place where you feel safe and supported, but also like we’re working toward something.
Think of me as someone in your corner, here to help you figure things out, make a plan, and cheer you on while you do the hard part.
A little about the letters after my name.
