MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Katherine E. Catapano, MSW, LCSW · Founder & Clinical Director
You deserve a place where you can show up as you are. My work centers on compassionate, collaborative care that recognizes your strengths and makes room for your lived experience.
My background includes outpatient therapy, addiction treatment, individual and family work, and leading therapy groups. Together, we'll explore what's keeping you stuck and practice tools you can use beyond the therapy room.
WHY STARFISH?
Our name is inspired by the starfish story: a reminder that helping one person matters, even when the world feels overwhelming.
Therapy can be like that, too. An honest conversation. A new boundary. A moment of understanding. Small shifts can become meaningful change—and your steps deserve care and attention.
