Somatic Therapists in Brighton, MI

Are you struggling with trauma? You might feel anxious, disconnected from your body, feeling the need to constantly distract yourself, or not feeling like yourself. This may be in response to a bigger life event, loss, life transitions, or something you’ve been unable to access. Sometimes, our responses are connected to childhood trauma, religious trauma, work trauma, or from past relationships. You may also question if your responses are connected to trauma at all. You want to live a life where it feels good to be present with yourself and in relationships. Where you can be authentically yourself.

Thank you for taking this brave step toward your healing. My name is Cathi and I graduated from U of M with my MSW in 2011. As your therapist, I will create a nonjudgmental and safe space for you to process any pain you are carrying and to help you find your inner light. I can help you with life transitions, health changes, chronic illness, disabilities, grief/loss, PTSD, childhood neglect/abuse/control, anxiety, sexual trauma, autism, family dynamics, enmeshment, college/career anxiety, caregiver fatigue/burnout, panic attacks, self esteem/self love, ADHD, infant/maternal mental health, fertility, social media addiction, and more.

Overall wellness is what I focus on with my clients. This can mean so many things to each of us as individuals. Our mental and physical health need nurturing. In a nonjudgmental manner, I take a person-centered approach to sessions from the initial meeting, goal setting and throughout sessions thereafter. The relationship we will build will be the foundation of the work we do! I have been a licensed clinical social worker for 24 years working with clients of all ages. In the past few years, I have focused on trauma work, depression and anxiety disorders. I look forward to working with you as you set your wellness goals!

Pietruck Therapy Services (PTS) is a private group practice. PTS hopes to build mutual respect, trust and create a safe space with all clients. PTS has a commitment to providing culturally responsive services and strives to provide the upmost ethical practices. We are enthusiastic about working with children and families who are or have experienced trauma. We are very passionate about the work we do with children, adolescents, young adults and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, life adjustments, ADHD and those who identify as LGBTQIA+.

I thoroughly enjoy helping clients to be authentically themselves within a safe and comfortable space. Each person is unique in their own way, and because of this they may need a unique approach in therapy. I look at the therapeutic relationship as a team, we can collaborate together to work on any issues that may be troublesome. Transparency is an important part of the therapeutic relationship, and I encourage it on both sides in order to create a non-judgmental space.

New openings now available - We understand that trauma and early attachment wounds manifest uniquely in each individual, leaving a profound impact on their lives. You may find yourself caught in patterns affecting your relationships, struggling to connect emotionally, or easily triggered by small things.

The most important relationships in our lives can often feel the most challenging. Clients who come to me often feel "stuck" in their relationships with a spouse or family member. They seek guidance on how to strengthen their connections, foster closeness, and reduce conflict.

I offer services in-person and online, with immediate openings Monday-Friday (with some extended hours over weekends). I would love the opportunity to help you heal!
