Areas of Expertise I help adults facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, substance use, life transitions, and relationship struggles. My approach combines CBT, ACT, DBT, and Self-Compassion Therapy, tailored to each client's goals. My Approach Clients often tell me they appreciate my direct yet compassionate style. I challenge people in a kind, honest way to face what's not working and take real steps toward growth, healing, or acceptance. How I Can Help As a recovering perfectionist, I’ve learned that fulfillment doesn’t come from doing everything “right,” but from living in alignment with what truly matters. I help clients clarify their values, build self-awareness, and take meaningful steps toward lives that feel authentic and sustainable, not just what’s expected. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, I’m here to support you.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed in your life? Like things were out of your control? Have you ever felt stuck in patterns that you know are unhelpful? Have you ever wanted to make a change but were unsure of how to take the first step? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then art therapy can be a helpful resource for you. Hi, I'm Catherine, and I'm an Art Therapist. Since 2007, I have been helping my clients engage in their own art making, creativity, and self-inquiry as a way to find ease among life’s many challenges. As an Art Therapist and a Registered Yoga Teacher, I can guide you in art making, mindfulness, yoga, and self-compassion to help you relieve stress, cope with anxiety and depression, restore your energy, and discover new and creative ways to cope with simply being human. I understand the healing powers of creativity, mindfulness, and yoga not only from my work as an Art Therapist but because I have experienced the profound benefits myself for chronic pain, difficult life transitions, grief and loss, and professional burnout. Because of this experience, it is my mission to help you navigate this stressful time in your life and find the tools from within to leave you feeling calm, capable, and confident in whatever situation you may be facing.

Hi there! My name is Cory Bedtke, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received a Master of Social Work degree from Loyola University Chicago in 2015, and started my career as a school social worker prior to switching over to clinical work with adults. While this may seem like a big transition, it's funny how similar our problems are at the different stages of life. Currently, I enjoy working with clients in young and middle adulthood who would like to feel less stressed and anxious, improve their mood, work on communication, and feel more secure in their relationships. I also work with folks who want to process and find ways to cope with traumatic experiences. College can be an amazingly wonderful but also daunting time, so I am here to help you navigate the challenges that you face.
