Hello! My name is Renee DiGrigoli. I was born and raised in central New Jersey, where I continue to live and work. Currently, I serve as a supervisor and therapist at mental health crisis clinic. While my professional life is centered around helping others, I am a true introvert at heart. In my downtime, I enjoy reading, crafting, photography, spending time with family, and—perhaps unsurprisingly—practicing mindfulness and yoga.

My journey into the counseling field began years ago, sparked by personal experience with therapists who, despite their clinical knowledge, lacked the empathy and compassion essential to truly effective care. I believed could offer something different—authentic connection through my innate empathy—and that belief led me down the path to becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor.

My introduction into mindfulness, yoga, and Intuitive Eating came later and in a more personal way. In my mid-thirties, I recognized that I had internalized our culture’s ideals of perfectionism and diet culture. This realization prompted me to begin meditating, explore yoga, and dive into Intuitive Eating, all of which have had a profound, transformative impact on my life. I'm now passionate about sharing these practices with others on their own journeys.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of New Jersey (License #37PC0039300). I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Rutgers University/Douglass College, and Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. In addition, I am a National Certified Counselor, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Approved Clinical Supervisor, and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200).

Ametrine, a rare crystal primarily mined in Bolivia, combines amethyst and citrine. Amethyst is linked to the Third Eye Chakra, supporting intuition and insight, while citrine connects to the Solar Plexus Chakra, associated with vitality and motivation. Together, they symbolize the harmony of mind and body—an ideal reflection of Ametrine Counseling & Yoga LLC’s mission to help individuals strengthen that connection through counseling and mindfulness practices.
