FOUNDER - THERAPIST - SUPERVISOR

Catherine Vertalka, LPC, CAADC, ACS

I believe healing begins in spaces where people feel seen, safe, and genuinely supported. Like embers that continue to glow beneath the surface, every person carries an inner resilience and capacity for growth. My approach is rooted in warmth, trust, and thoughtful connection, creating a space where healing can unfold naturally and lasting change can take shape. It is an honor to walk alongside individuals as they reconnect with themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and cultivate deeper wellness and renewal.

Catherine holds a Masters of Arts in Counseling from Michigan State University, and a bachelor of Applied Arts in Family Studies from Central Michigan University. She has over 15 years of experience in mental health and addiction treatment with specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
