Catherine VertalkaLicensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CAADC, ACS (she, her)

About

Since 2011, I’ve supported adults from diverse backgrounds as they navigate trauma, addiction, and meaningful life transitions. I work collaboratively with clients to gently shift unhelpful patterns and process difficult or traumatic experiences. I help clients reconnect with their values and strengthen their own motivation for change. My approach is warm and supportive, focused on meeting you where you are, while honoring your experiences and inner strengths. I also provide one time court-required alcohol and drug treatment needs assessments, which are separate from ongoing therapy and billed directly to the client. I believe every person carries an innate capacity to grow and heal. I strive to build a foundation of safety, trust, and genuine empathy in every therapeutic relationship because that’s where real, lasting change begins. I have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Motivational Interviewing, CBT, & Addiction Treatment
