Catherine Podolske

Hello. I’m Catherine. I am passionate about helping people live the life they want to live through my work as a LCSW licensed therapist. I take a holistic approach and focus on the entirety of each person while exploring each individual’s unique needs for maximum health and wellness.

My focus

I am trauma-informed with a specialization in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, severe stress and adjustment disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, grief and bereavement, obsessive-compulsive disorders, attachment and relationship issues, anger management, substance abuse, chronic health, chronic pain, and somatization disorders.

My communication style

I work to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and accepting environment for you to feel heard and appreciated.

My client-centered and humanistic approach focuses on your goals and what is most important to you. My approach eclectically draws from concepts from polyvagal, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, internal family systems, trauma informed approaches. We work collaboratively to achieve your goals of wellness, peace, and ultimately the happiness you seek. While we work on the difficult issues we also allow for space to keep the process as comfortable as possible and dare I say even enjoyable.

Clients can expect to increasingly feel more at peace and even relieved as we progress through each session and work through difficult issues together. Clients will learn coping strategies and techniques to improve quality of life.
