Therapist

I'm Brooke- a Michigan-based therapist with 26 years of experience and a deep belief that people are more resilient than they given themselves credit for. I work entirely online, which means you can access quality mental health care from wherever you are in Michigan. I've worked with hundreds of individuals across the lifespan- from teens navigating pressure to seniors managing life transitions - and what I've learned is that most people don't need to be "fixed". They need someone who actually listens, helps them see patterns they've been too close to notice, and walks alongside them as they build the life they want. I accept BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, Priority Health, Carelon, Ascension, and Medicare Advantage- so insurance is rarely a barrier.

I approach therapy with respect, curiosity, and a bit of humor. I offer trauma-informed care which has led me to work with people who have gone through hard times and survived. I earned my master’s degree from Michigan State University and have stayed in the East Lansing area since then, working in local residential treatment facilities for teens and in an outpatient intensive treatment program with adults. I have spent the last 15 years working with adults in crisis, whether that is temporary situations like relationship issues or more chronic conditions.

Catherine Filary

Catherine Filary

Therapist

Virtual • Michigan


I am a licensed therapist in Michigan and a certified alcohol and drug abuse counselor with ten years of experience — and the road that shaped me as a clinician runs through two very specific places. For three years, I worked at the VA, where I developed a deep, hands-on understanding of trauma in its most complex and layered forms. For five years after that, I worked at Hope Network, an outpatient program serving individuals with limited access to resources, where I learned something that has stayed with me ever since: that genuine clinical expertise, offered with real intention, can change the trajectory of someone's life — even when the odds are stacked against them. I specialize in substance use and addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and the lasting impact of unhealthy relationships. My work is grounded in CBT and driven by a belief that every person — regardless of their circumstances — has the capacity to become more confident, more grounded, and more fully themselves.
